is it possible to do this tour in reverse?? So starting at port Elizabeth and ending in Capetown

We do have a tour called Addo to Cape Town.

How do I book the option of extending the tour by 1 extra day before departure?

You may go ahead and book the 6 day tour starting in Cape Town on the 12th May. I will, from my side, book a day tour for the 11th May. Closer to the time, we can discuss your requirements and I can make some suggestions for your1 day tour in Cape Town.

Are there any other bookings yet? If not: Should I wait, or can you offer an alternative (a day later or in the other direction - I don't really mind where I start, just visiting Addo Elephant Park first thing in the morning seems to make more sense than arriving there at noon).

Your preferred dates are available. However I do not have any other Tours booked around those dates. I need a minimum of two adults before I can run a tour. It is possible that I will still get an enquiry around those dates and I can then let you know.

We were wondering if you might be able to send us a couple of examples of the accommodations you use? Just so we can get a better picture of that. Also, it would be super important for us to have a private bathroom in all accommodation. Could you confirm that that is the case?

All accommodation has private bathroom en-suite.

How much would the additional whale watching boat trip be?

The Boat based Whale Watching tour would be ZAR 1 240 per person. (Approx US$ 68)

Can you confirm you will pick us up on Saturday 5th March from Road Lodge Port Elizabeth Airport? Can you also confirm that if we book the tour it will go ahead as we have just been canceled from another booking due to lack of people booking.

We do offer tours for 2 persons and I can confirm that we can pick you up on the 5th March.
