Fantastic Safari Experience in Addo Elephant National Park

5.00My wife and I had an amazing safari in Addo Elephant National Park with our guide Alan. Alan was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about wildlife. He shared interesting facts throughout the tour, answered all our questions, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and well taken care of. Thanks to his experience and excellent spotting skills, we saw many elephants up close as well as other animals in their natural habitat. The tour was very well organized, relaxed, and never rushed, which allowed us to truly enjoy the park and its incredible scenery. This safari was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to South Africa. We highly recommend this tour and especially Alan to anyone visiting Addo Elephant National Park.
Tony was the perfect guide, friendly, knowledgeable and committed to ensure we had the best experience.

Awesome Addo day with Mark

5.00Wow, what a day! Mark picked is up from the cruise terminal, and the fun began. On the trip to Addo we learnt so much about Port Elizabeth, its history, its politics, attractions and so much more. Mark warned us that we may or may not see many other animals other than elephants, but those, he could guarantee. We must've hit the jackpot, as the cooler weather brought out the animals. We were even fortunate enough to see a male lion with 2 lionesses chilling under a tree. Springboks, warthogs (Pumbas), zebras, buffalo, turtles and so many elephants. The opportunities we had to get close to the animals, thanks to Mark's knowledge, made photo taking so easy. We'll remember Port Elizabeth, Mark and Addo, every time we see our incredible photos. A must for all visitors. Thanks Mark for a day to remember
Great tour!

Unforgettable Safari Experience🌟

5.00We recently had the incredible opportunity to go on another safari, our first time in the Addo Elephant National Park, and I can honestly say it was one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully organized, expertly guided, and absolutely awe-inspiring. The wildlife sightings were beyond anything we could have imagined. We saw elephants up close, buffalo and red hartebeest grazing, zebras fighting, baby warthogs playing, kudu lazing around, a special sighting of a black-backed jackal and so many more animals in their natural habitat. Riaan, our guide, was exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate, not only about the animals but also about the land, the local culture, and the ecosystem. He made the entire experience feel personal (picking us up from our desired location), safe, and educational. If you’re even considering going on a safari, I cannot recommend using ZASENDLE Adventures highly enough. This trip exceeded all expectations and left us with lifelong memories, a deeper appreciation for wildlife, and a strong desire to return.
Fabulous day

A great half day in Addo Elephant park
bgff,,Feb 25, 2024
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We had the morning tour on a beautiful day with Hendrik. We had a great time and saw a variety of animals. Especially the elephants up close with their young were a sight to remember. Hendrik is a great guide and told us many things about the park and the animals there. We also learned a few things about life in South Africa. I would book another safari with him any time. Pick-up from the cuise ship in the morning was a little tricky. The harbour in Port Elisabeth is unorganized and you have to search your pick-up point, especially when two cruise ships are there at the same day. In addition we had a small misunderstanding about the pick-up time. But as soon as we had found each other the day went well.
