4. Returning to camp we enjoy a hearty breakfast before making our way south through the park on another 2 hour game drive. Exiting we head back to your accomodation stopping for lunch at Jeffreys bay and soaking up the beach culture of this capital of the surfing scene in South Africa.This brings to an end an epic safari which can be extended to more days in the park on your request.

I am so glad that I went on this safari tour with Trevor and another girl called Klara. I meet Trevor in wilderness, he was our taxi driver. Very chatty, kind man who seemed to have a lot of fun stories. We camped in a tent at Addo elephant park. He sorted everything so I didn’t have to think about camping stuff or food. I really enjoyed how this trip was so relaxed the fact that we were only three people. I liked that feeling of a more private tour. Trevor was also very good at answering our questions about the animals. You could definitely tell he has a lot of experience and knowledge. He was also good at finding the animals. We saw elephants, buffalo’s, wildebeests, warthogs and ostriches. I’m never going to forget this trip. We were so close to the elephants. It felt unreal. They were like just there! We had an early morning game drive which was clever cause we got a lot of activity there. I felt quite safe on this trip. Trevor kneew what he was doing for sure. It was no doubt, the money worth. We had three game drives which was very effective the fact that we just slept there one night and got thee in the afternoon. Despite the whole safari bit, we also had a lot of fun at the campsite. Got to know each other very well. Had some interesting deep conversations. With all that said I will definitely recommend this trip with Trevor, although I don’t have a lot to combine it with the fact that this has been my first safari trip without family. But I can say that the standard is quite high if I’d go on another one. If you want a more authentic, private and personal tour and you love a good laugh on the way this is it for you.
