I had researched on how the elephants were trained before reserving for my husband and I, I did not wish to partake of any inhuman conditioning of the animals. The ride up dangerous roads full of bumps & rocks with no safety guards on the roads was quite a tiring experience. Because we were in the Addo region I assumed... More

I would strongly recommend that you try to be on the small Landrover (space for approx. 7 people) and not the large vehicle. From the car, we had a fantastic view and the driver drove off-road. thus we had... More
