Orange Elephant Backpackers — Hotel in Sundays River Valley Local Municipality

We were travelling as a couple through South Africa. We booked the 2-day safari a few weeks before arriving in Port Elizabeth. We had two brilliant days. Everything worked out as planned and we did not had to worry about anything. The included pick up in Port Elizabeth was on time, the food during the stay was extremely good and on the safaris we had more awesome sightings than expected.|To see not only one but two animal National Parks in two days is an experience which I can highly recommend because of the fact that the parks are so different. The Addo with its very dense vegetation is a whole different thing than mount zebra with its wide open spaces and the mountain areas.|We also had a very nice mix of animal sightings because there are not many overlapping animals in the two parks. |The included cheetah walking safari was the absolute highlight of the trip as we are big fans of these creatures. It was an amazing experience to drive through the park and find the area where it was (This drive was another nice game drive of 1,5h through the park) and then go on by foot and hike towards the cheetah for about 30 minutes to see it from just less than 10m.|After that John (our guide and driver) to Mount Zebra offered us to make another drive through the park instead of immediately hitting the road back to Addo, in which he showed as the part of the park we did not see on the cheetah tour.|The accomodation during the whole trip was also excellent. We always had a big double room with our own bathroom, which was more a small apartment than just a room and always very clean.|The orange elephant backpackers itself is very good place to stay with a nice pub 100m away from the hostel.|So all in all we could not complain about anything during our stay there and would love to come back. The secret tip is Mount Zebra, which is beautiful national park with many different animals, a stunning landscape and not very crowded.|And the best thing about it is that its really cheap if you compare it to offers like this in the Kruger National Park for example!!|So If you are searching for an affordable safari on which you do not have to worry about anything and just concentrate on seeing beautiful animals in their natural habitat, this is the...
