Local tip
For a fuller itinerary, pair an Addo park tour with a river, boat or beach-based activity.

Crisscross Adventures is an outdoor tour operator based at Hermiston Farm near Addo, offering guided experiences across the Addo Elephant National Park and the surrounding Sunday’s River Valley. Its focus is on wildlife, nature, photography and active exploration rather than dining or accommodation.

The main safari offering is guided game viewing in custom-designed tour vehicles, with opportunities to look for elephants and other wildlife in their natural habitat. Tours also cater to photographic interests and bird watching, combining time in the park with interpretation about the environment and conservation. The approach is informative and nature-focused, giving visitors a way to explore the park with a guide rather than travelling independently.

Beyond the national park, Crisscross Adventures runs a selection of outdoor activities in the wider Eastern Cape setting. These include river safaris on the Sunday’s River, boat cruises, beach-based excursions, sandboarding, sledding and eco quad biking. Sunrise and sundowner experiences provide different ways to experience the landscape, while custom tours, transfers and shuttles add flexibility for visitors planning a broader Addo itinerary.

The style is active, educational and closely connected to the natural environment. Some activities are suited to wildlife enthusiasts and photographers, while others appeal to visitors looking for movement, water-based outings or an introduction to the varied landscapes around Addo. The combination of safari drives, river activities, coastal experiences and adventure outings makes the operator suitable for travellers who want more than a single park excursion.

Crisscross Adventures operates from the Addo area and serves visitors exploring the national park and its surrounding attractions. Tours can be arranged as individual experiences or combined through Addo tour packages, creating options for different interests and lengths of stay. The setting ranges from open game-viewing routes to the river, beach and marine areas near the park, with each activity providing a different perspective on the region.
