Frequently Asked Questions
- How much do you spend on each safari? Is it sufficient time to see the animals?
During the 5day Garden Route + Addo there is an option for an early morning game drive in Addo Elephant National Park in the tour vehicle. This can be between 2-3 hours. Subject to availability, return to the wild for an optional 4x4 bush safari game drive with a knowledgeable game ranger at a Private Game Reserve for a possible sighting of resident wildlife and other smaller animals.
- When and where does the tour end?
At the end of the tour, there is an included drop off where the tour operator will drop you off at your selected hotel provided it is in central Cape Town or Stellenbosch (10km radius). An exact drop off time/ end time of the tour is not possible as it is subject to weather and traffic conditions however it will be in the late evening so we recommend departing the next day to avoid missing a flight.
- Do you arrange airport transfers?
Airport transfers are not available however the tour operator does include arrival and departure transfers from any accommodation in central Cape Town or Stellenbosch town centre (within 10km radius).
- When and where does the tour start?

As a tour booking website, TourRadar cannot organise visas for you on your behalf as the visa requirements are regularly being updated and vary for the nationality of one traveller to the next. It is for this reason that we recommend checking with your local embassy or consulate website for the latest up to date information.

The optional extras can all be decided and paid for while on tour directly to the operators either via credit card or with cash.
