Every photo below was taken on a real Nqaba tour — the wildlife we met, and the wonderful people we shared it with.
From elephant herds at the waterhole to lions at arm's length — this is the Addo we get to call our office.
The best part of every safari is the people we share it with. Here's to the laughter, the friendships, and the memories.
Guest reviews
Real words from guests who explored Addo and the Eastern Cape with Lonwabo and the Nqaba team.
We met at Addo Elephant Park and had an enjoyable wildlife tour. We went en route to Port Elizabeth city and then for a township tour. I can highly recommend these people for the good work they do.

Excellent tours, great person. Lonwabo was recommended by friends from the Addo who had toured with him previously. I toured Port Elizabeth and Addo with Lonwabo and stayed in Africanos Guest House for 2 nights. I started with one night and liked it so much that I returned three weeks later before driving back to the Western Cape.

They really did their best to give us the best experience. They were very patient with us — I doubt we could have been able to get around the Elephant Park on our own.

The communication was good and my only suggestion is to pre-align with the customers beforehand if the safari cannot fulfil the initial reservations. Otherwise my partner and I enjoyed ourselves!

Very easy to book the excursion and communication about pick-up and the trip details was excellent. Our guide Lonwabo was very nice and had very good knowledge of both the animals and the plants in the preserve. We saw a lot of different animals at very close range. An excellent day!

My husband and I were very satisfied with this tour. We were picked up at the expected time and both our guide and the driver were very pleasant. Our guide was very knowledgeable and went out of his way for us to see a rhino, which we did. It was a very interesting tour and we highly recommend it.

We had an amazing time on our safari tour. We went to three different national parks and one private game park. The itinerary was amazing! We got to see the Big 5 and I felt like we really got to experience what a safari is like in different locations. Highly knowledgeable and super fun guides.

I went with a group of friends on the 4 day safari. It was awesome! We saw the Big 5, plus some beautiful areas we would have never seen otherwise. Lonwabo did a fantastic job making us feel welcome and made sure we had a great time!

Four friends and I did the 4 day tour, from Addo to Karoo and it was great! We did 3 different parks and saw plenty of animals and were given a lot of information about the animals, like how warthogs eat. It was nice that it wasn't just about counting how many animals you see.

Wow, what a best tour I've ever experienced. And I even enjoyed how their tour guide shared all that info. Keep it up for our BIG 5 (Alutha Kontini)!

We did two hikes in the national park and it was amazingly beautiful and magical! We even finished it off with a school of dolphins and a beer! I would recommend it to any nature-lovers!

The park is well taken care of with multiple routes and marked watering points. It was my first time to spot a pack of hyenas just in front of our car. Also spotted elephants, zebras and jackals in the few minutes spent in the park. You need a full day, starting early.
