Guest Reviews:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great experience and we arrived with a cruise and so much better with INTO Tours rather than the large bus with the cruise. Realized that buses are not allowed to drive throughout Addo Elephant Park, but our tour was perfect, as we drove throughout the Park and Jacob dropped us off at the ship. Our organized lunch went well and especially with so many people off the cruise from the buses. We had reserved tables."
