Addo

Activity Description

IF NO AVAILABILITY ONLINE, PLEASE CONTACT US DIRECTLY TO BOOK

Guests have the opportunity to explore a section of the Addo Elephant National Park and the adjacent private game reserve, Schotia, all within a single morning during the height of summer. The crisp, early morning air in Addo creates the perfect conditions for spotting predators, viewing the Big Five, and encountering other species not endemic to Addo Park.

Logistically we may have to adjust the starting times for the safari to a slightly earlier than 05:30am, as summer in Addo, and our Sunrise in the peak of summer can be much earlier.

Customer Reviews

It was an eventful drive through the park; we were able to see almost all of the Big 5, except for the hippo, which was underwater---we should have come earlier. Our driver was very friendly and helpful and explained a lot to us. - Eva


We took part in the Sunrise Safari and it was absolutely great! And a special compliment that you provided warm ponchos. It was most welcome so early in the morning. And finally staying in Lindas African Lodge was a highlight! Further, we did the canoeing and the quad and were all over the hill! Go on like this! - Gitta


We started very early at 5.30 and visited different private reserves. We saw many animals and our ranger was very motivated and explained us a lot! We can truly recommend that trip! - Sabine


A very good safari; we have seen many different animals. - Caroline


We had a wonderful open vehicle sunrise safari at Addo with Crisscross Adventures. It was a wonderful experience as we saw a lot of animals early in the morning, and the private game park was great as well (the area was very big and we didn't see any other touritsts there). The vehicle was perfect and the guide/driver very kind and knowledgable. The group was very small and my son (10 years old) still talks about this beautiful experience. Pick up and drop off were perfectly organized and smooth as well - we would always book again with Crisscross Adventures. - Christina
