    Good day, Andreas Thank you very much for your positive review of our Garden Route & Addo tour. We're thrilled that you had such an amazing experience in Addo National Park, South Africa's 3rd biggest National Park! It sounds like you had incredible luck with the elephant herd sightings. Addo is a unique and exceptional experience. Sightings vary from one visit to the next, but we are frequently treated with amazing sightings of hundreds of elephant gathering around the water holes. We're happy that you have this special memory of South Africa. Thank you for mentioning your fellow travellers and good guide/driver. It's true that this tour covers a large distance so a good deal of time is spent on the road. Our guides break up the drives with convenience stops along the way to make the journey more comfortable. We appreciate your feedback very much. Thank you! Safe Travels, Cindy & the Earthstompers team

  • J

    Jade

    Asked on January 21st, 2026

    I will be finishing an overland bush safari in Victoria Falls on April 5th. Then plan to do the Garden Route and Capetown. I am interested in a tour with you and wonder if you also go from Port Elizabeth to Capetown?

    Tour Details
    • Earthstompers AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2026

      Our weekly group tours depart Cape Town on a Monday morning, we can however offer you a private tour from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town. If you prefer a group tour we do have a guaranteed departure on Monday, 6 April and would love to have you along.

  • J

    Jorge

    Asked on December 31st, 2025

    For the tour starting on December 7th, is it too late for the optional excursion: Whale watching boat trip (in season, July - November), R1440?

    Tour Details
    • Earthstompers AdventuresOperatorWritten January 2026

      Whale watching season is from July to November so there would be no guarantees that the whales will still be around on 7 December. More to the end of whale watching season we keep in close contact with the whale watching company to find out how their sightings have been so if the whales decide to leave the Bay later we continue offering whale watching until the sightings have decreased. I can however make a note that you are interested in this activity so if the whales are still around you can add this as this an optional activity.

    • Earthstompers AdventuresOperatorWritten October 2025

      This is an active tour and it is best suited towards those who like to be on the move, and can comfortably walk, carry luggage, get in and out of the vehicle frequently. The group is a mix between backpackers and guest house clients, and ages can range from 18 to 65 however we do manage bookings on a case by case basis and with both of your being fit walkers it sounds like you would be just fine on the tour and we would love to have you along!

      Frances

      TravelerWritten October 2025

      We are able to do all except perhaps may have some difficulty in and out of the canoe although one in we can paddle for 40 minutes so could we decline this activity and still go?

    • Earthstompers AdventuresOperatorWritten October 2025

      Your guide and the staff from the canoeing company will be available to assist you with getting into the canoe. Alternatively, you have the option to hike all the way to the waterfall, or if you prefer, you may choose to sit out the activity entirely.

    • F

      Frances

      TravelerWritten October 2025

      would we be able to make the choice to hike rather? If so we will either canoe or hike and we would like to participate in the tour.
