7-Day Private Garden Route Tour: Cape Town to Port Elizabeth

Rawson Touring

We spend a really nice day in the Tsitsikamma National Park. Our guide got us directly at the cruise terminal and was very nice!
The tour was well planned and we recommend it to everyone who wants to see the nature highlights of Tsitsikama!

Tsitsikama National Park full-day: Port Elizabeth

It was a rough start prior to landing in Port Elizabeth, but it got immensely better once I landed and was picked up from the airport. The guide for my trip, Taku, was great. He was very knowledgeable and just a good dude. The places I went were good and were varied. Though a bit more variation or options wouldn't be a bad thing. I was able to pick Taku's brain for some of the place selections (going to Schotia Safaris as opposed to Addo) and they made sense. This is a newer company in the multi-day realm; they mostly focus on cruise day trips. They are trying to improve and are welcome to feedback. I do recommend this tour and this tour company.
