Wir haben diese Unterkunft gewählt für unseren Besuch im Addo Elephant Park. Sie liegt in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Südtor des Parks. Falls man eine der zweistündigen SANParks Touren machen möchte, muss man zum Nordtor des Parks fahren. Dies ist jedoch aus unserer Sicht nicht zu empfehlen, da 2 Stunden viel zu wenig sind. In diesem Park kann man ohne Probleme 2-3 volle Tage verbringen. Daher entweder mit dem eigenen Auto durch das Südtor oder noch viiiieeeeeeel besser eine Tagestour mit dem Ranger Shaun der Unterkunft buchen. Diese ist ihr Geld definitiv wert, da man höher sitzt und dadurch mehr sieht und sich sicherer fühlt. Außerdem konnte Shaun uns viele interessante Zusatzinformationen zu den Tieren geben. Ohne ihn hätten wir sicherlich nur halb so viele Tiere entdeckt. Die Safari-Tour war unser persönliches Highlight unserer Südafrikareise.
