Did the full day Addo Elephant National Park. Hesitated because my spouse and I were afraid that we were not able to sight too many animals in their natural state. But fret not the entire experience with Joel is far from AMAZING.
Because Joel was such an amazing guide, we even did a second half day morning tour at Kragga Kamma Game Reserve to see the other animals we did not managed to catch.
He is not only knowledgeable and shared very detailed and small interesting facts about the animals, he also have crazy eye sight. We rushed from one place to another to look at those animals upclose though individual binoculars were provided as well. It is such a magical moment when the animals are just right beside you.
Joel is also super funny and entertaining and the best part is that he makes you feel extremely comfortable and like family. He is also very thoughtful and plans for the little minor details. From providing us with the option of wine, cider, soda, juice, water, snacks and even blankets just in case we were cold. Even the traditional African food he served whipped up was AMAZING. From the home-made sauce, to the salad and the juice chicken, beef, extremely fresh Kale and handmade Fufu. He had it all well planned out. Honestly him cooking the traditional food itself was an activity we truly enjoyed. It was almost like a cooking show.
Vehicle is really clean and comfortable. Joel, allowed us to have the best of both worlds, by giving up the regular vehicle and also the open top safari vehicles.
Honestly, this tour is the highlight of our entire trip. I would highly recommend anyone to go for the tour, especially if you want an amazing experience and would love to impress someone, because I know you would be in great hands. Especially if its your first time in a national park safari, trust me you'll need an amazing guide.
