Customer Reviews

We had a fantastic time! The service was professional and friendly. Our guide, Gibson, was knowledgeable and a great communicator. The river was fast and the boats were high quality, making us feel completely safe and secure---especially with Gibson guiding us. The birdlife was amazing, from various types of kingfishers and bee-eaters to incredible sightings of fish eagles. We even got to see water monitor lizards swimming across the Sundays River! Crisscross Adventures is just 12 km from the Addo main gate, which was super convenient since we were staying in Addo Elephant National Park. We will definitely use them again. Thanks guys, it was really special! - Ross
