Excellent trip with Sean from Mosaic tours to the Addo Elephant park. We did this trip from a cruise ship and I would highly recommend this instead of the expensive tours offered by the ship. We saw lots of elephants and other animals, the elephants at the watering hole being a particular highlight. Sean is very knowledgeable and an excellent guide. He also kindly took us around Port Elizabeth on the way back to he ship, not part of the tour but I think he wanted to keep us safe from walking around there and he is obviously very passionate about this city and its history. Highly recommended.

Sarah with Mosaic Tourism is beyond a doubt one of the nicest, most vivacious persons I’ve ever met. She truly loves Port Elizabeth and being able to show it to you. I knew I was in good spirits from the moment I met her. She booked a day tour of Addo Elephant Park for me through Dungbettle River Lodge, which was perfection (see my Dungbettle review). She picked me up promptly at my hotel in Port Elizabeth and we talked nonstop to Dungbettle. She explained the history of Port Elizabeth and showed me various highlights along the way of our approximate 25 minute drive. Once at Dungbettle, I was able to enjoy coffee on their beautiful deck overlooking the river before venturing out to my game drive. At the end of the day, Sarah promptly picked me up again and was genuinely interested in hearing all about my day. On the way back, she even showed me flamingos! I considered a sand boarding excursion with Mosaic Tours, but the weather and my timing had other plans. I absolutely cannot wait to go back to Port Elizabeth and Sarah will be one of the first people I contact so that she can book as much South African adventure into my trip as possible!

We had a most wonderful tour to Addo Elephant National Park with Mosaic. The elephants were out in numbers and thanks to the good eyesight of our guide even saw a dung beetle heading to a new home. The guide and driver were informative helpful and personable. It was a pleasure to be with them. Our guide’s eyesight permitted spotting animals from afar allowing cameras to be ready for great shots. Lots of fantastic pictures. We went during vacation time and there were lots of fellow tourists. Our team avoided crowded spots and we got in close everywhere. We were very fortunate that they recommended a picnic lunch rather than a restaurant. The food was very good and best of all no time was wasted in waiting for a table and service. I suggest everyone ask for the picnic lunch especially during crowded times. This was far better than my expectations.
