The Experience

The game drive comes first. You leave Port Elizabeth and head to Kragga Kamma Game Park in an open 4x4, which means you're not watching wildlife through glass—the vehicle itself is part of the landscape. The park holds southern white rhinos, South African cheetahs, Burchell's zebras, giraffes, nyala, bontebok, lechwe and African buffalo. The drive takes you through their habitat rather than along a fixed route, so the animals you encounter depend on where they are that morning. A live guide narrates in English, Hindi or Bengali.

After the game drive, the tour shifts to Port Elizabeth's history. You walk to Fort Frederick, the Donkin Reserve and other landmarks that shaped one of South Africa's oldest cities. The city is also known as the friendly or windy city, and the walking portion lets you move through neighborhoods and squares at a pace that makes the history stick. Some sections are driven, some are on foot—the guide chooses based on what makes sense for the day.

Pickup happens at your accommodation or cruise terminal in Port Elizabeth, and the same vehicle brings you back when the tour ends. The whole day runs four hours. All areas are wheelchair accessible, and the tour welcomes children from age one; specialized infant seats are available if you need them.

Kragga Kamma is home to southern white rhinos, South African cheetahs, giraffes, Burchell's zebras, nyala, bontebok, lechwe and African buffalo.

The park is less than 30 minutes' drive from Port Elizabeth, so the journey there and back leaves most of the four hours for the game drive itself and the city tour afterward.

Will I be inside a vehicle the whole time at the game park?

What languages does the guide speak?
