Very good experience, John was our guide and driver Very knowleageable about the region, nice person, willing to respond to our questions and give detailed explanations Trip started on time, we had a nice group and were able to see many animals If you stay at Lungile Backpackers you might get a discount as they are partners
Excellent day in the Addo national park with Sidwell from Afroventures. Good communication in advance, prompt pick-up. Vehicle is well suited to the terrain. Sidwell was really informative, and took us on both north and south loops in the course of the day. Lunch was lovely, at Jack's picnic spot in the park. Sidwell was excellent at spotting the wildlife. We had an absolutely amazing day.
The experience was really worthy, Steve was very nice, helpful and he's a very experienced safari guide who was able to spot a lot of magnificent animals. The BBQ was super nice and tasty.
