About this experience
This one of a kind tour let's you experience the world famous Addo Elephant Park which has one of the most densest Elephant populations in the world in a guided game drive safari and enjoy a safari on foot at a Private Game Reserve after Addo Elephant Park, in this way you get the best of both worlds. There really is little to beat the excitement and experience of being on foot in the African bush, walking along game paths in the footsteps of wildlife and getting up close to one most iconic of all African animals, the giraffe. It is undoubtedly an experience that will create an lasting memories as a highlight of your safari adventure.
While game viewing from a vehicle is a standard activity on safari trips, being allowed and able to safely walk in big game country adds a different dimension to an African safari. It is a rare opportunity not widely available.
Cruiseliner guests welcome, if the ship is running late we will wait for guests to dissembark.
