Fantastic day with a great tour guide - What an incredible day with our experienced and knowledgeable guide Justin! We witnessed a cornucopia of diverse animals up close and personal. Justin was very personable and was highly educated in the habits and societal aspects of each animal group. The park is over a million acres of pristine African foliage that is maintained as a balanced eco system to allow animals to flourish. The day was extremely enjoyable and I would highly recommend this company and guide.

Over and Above! - Nothing short of excellent! Justin and Chris were friendly, proffesional and nothing was to much trouble.
We spent 2 days in Addo and were pleasantly surprised by the number of elephants as well as great lion sightings!
Our guides knowledge of not only addo but South Africa as a whole, gave the tour that extra touch.
We will definetly be back! Just Safaris, thank you so much!

Awesome experience - Chris our guide was awesome. The van was comfortable and air conditioned which was great for the 36C heat that day. Chris managed to find all of the different types of animals in Addo and the highlight of the day was seeing the herd of elephants with 3 babies at the watering hole, and the lioness eating her Kudu.
Chris was very knowledgeable about the park and its inhabitants and spent a lot of time parked in various locations so are whole group could get a good look at the animals. Thank you for.a fantastic day out, Chris!

Satisfying day at Addo Elephant Reserve - We took a half day safari through the Queen Mary 2 excursion office. Although we were on a large coach, we were able to see so many animals- elephants, Cape Buffalo, Kudos, Zebras and warthogs. The scenery was beautiful and it was a fun day. Restrooms were clean and the gift shop was amazing. Only downside is we didn’t have enough time to shop and the line to the cash register was too long. When large groups come through like ours (there were several coaches plus morning and afternoon safaris) they need to open another register. They missed out on some sales.

Lovely trip and great value. - As expected lots of elephants plus other animals. Particularly around the water holes. Very hot so elephants were resting in the mud and spraying themselves.
Driver tried to get close for us to take photos.

Instead of private tour, bus with a group - Addo park is great experience. We arrived by ship to Port Elizabeth. Booking was done for private tour, turned out that we have to go with 10 other people and wait for 1 h until they appear. We canceled booking and will get our payment back as it was not what we have booked.
We took another private guide from the pier and had a great day.

Totally ticked off! - You canceled our tour & DID NOT let me know. Guide didn’t have our names nor did his Just Safaris office. You cost us stress &
1-1-2 hours while we got another tour company. Very disappointed & will hesitate to book with you again.

Never again! - We did not start in the South of the Park, the tour was only 4 hours not 5, we had 3 people on the backseat, so the one in the middle didnt get a good view or photo opportunity.
We only have seen a few elephants, kudus, zebras and warthogs, The guide made no effort to find another one of the big 5.
Drive around Addo by yourself, you will see more animals.
