Customer Reviews

What a wonderful way to spend a morning! A paddle down the Khukalgamma River in the capable hands of an extremely knowledgeable guide; an impromptu picnic and a walk up the river bank to learn something about the flora. We saw a few animals and plenty of birds. Would go again if in the area. - Linda


When we were on the river it was a wonderful, tranquil experience. The scenery is beautiful, there's birdlife to watch and we had the benefit of 2 guides sharing their knowledge with us. As the river was relatively low on our trip there were some shallow and rocky sections which we we had to 'bump' overselves over to avoid getting stuck and in some places we went through quite narrow channels with lots of vegetation (both of which which was fun). There's a stop around half way through the experience to get out, have a short walk (with the guides imparting lots of fascinating information about the local flora) and grab a drink and snack. I spend a lot of time at a desk/computer so am not very fit but I found the experience very 'do-able' and the canoes are very stable. Also worth bearing in mind that the start time on the website and email confirmation is the time the tour actually starts rather than when you need to arrive by. So, avoid our mistake, and arrive in good time. - Fiona


It has been a well organised canoo trip for us 4 together with an excellent guide; the office was very helpful all the time in the process. Wonderful scenenary on the Sundays River. - Henning


Such a nice trip to do whilst staying in Addo at the lovely Elephant House. The day we went our group of four was down to two, due to illness. The party of two went ahead - really enjoyed the experience, the scenery and some bird wildlife - but even more found the guide really chatty and friendly and talked about what brought him to this part of Africa. made it a very pleasant couple of hours. Finishing off the day with a great meal at molo lollo really made for a perfect trip. (Don't miss Addo Elephant park!). - Cardwell


Paddling down Sunday's River with guide David was a very pleasant experience. He knows everything about the birds and plants and tells about it with a great sense of humor. Our teenage and young adult kids also enjoyed the adventure, especially the (relatively easy but still exciting) rapids. Would definitely advice this experience. - Pjotr
