Great place, would definitely stay there again when in the area.

We enjoyed our stay. Comfortable, clean accommodation – great service especially from Nandipa. But not sure it is really the 4 star accommodation it is listed as.Being billed as such sets one up for initial disappointment. I’d rate it as perfectly adequate 3 star accommodation.

Accommodation, food and location in Addo was great. We will definitely use De Old Drift again.

What a superb place to stay, the staff were so helpful, the self catering cottages were delightful set in a beautiful garden – only wish we could’ve stayed for longer!

De Old Drift Guest Farm Addo is 0.5km from the centre of Addo Village , the nearest airport 48.5km (Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport).

Addo is synonymous with the Elephant Park held within its borders. A small town located in the Sarah Baartman region of the Eastern Cape about an hours drive away from Gqeberha. Addo has many great features to it independent of the famed and gracious elephants.

The Sundays River snakes its way through the area providing water sport opportunities, with the Zuurberg Mountains that surround Addo providing hiking and horse riding trails. The bird life here is spectacular with a good variety of birds sighted.

The neighbouring Addo Elephant National Park (as part of the South African National Parks Board) is what draws thousands of visitors from all over the world. The Park boasts as South Africa’s “Big Seven” as it now includes the Southern Right Whale and great white shark since the Park extends to the sea and nearby islands.

Addo has many historical sites which date back as far as 1829.
