Time for a Port Elizabeth day tour

Time is one of those things that everyone has but can never quite find enough of – there are only so many hours in a day! At Afroventures, we understand that your time is precious, which is why we never look to waste any of it on showing you things that are not going to be worthwhile. So we’ve compiled some of the best time-sensitive day trip activities Port Elizabeth has to offer that are not only fun and convenient but also absolutely worth it!

Take a township tour

For those of you who don’t have the time for lengthy cultural tours or extended holidays, then we have something for you! This is not just for foreign visitors – it’s something locals may never have experienced, and it’s been in your backyard this whole time. Our Township Experience day trips offer a 3-hour guided tour of Walmer township in Port Elizabeth. This tour is designed for those who want to fit in as much local flavour as possible in a short space of time and for those who want to have a deeper understanding and appreciation of the Xhosa culture and get a window into the lives of local inhabitants. Join us and dive into the rich history of PE and see how millions of South Africans live.

Day trip to Addo Elephant Park

Spending your day exploring the natural splendour of the 3rd largest National Park in South Africa accompanied by our expert guides is never going to be a waste of time. With over 700 hundred elephants as well as lion, buffalo, leopard, hyena and rhino, you are guaranteed some fantastic sightings during a day safari in this amazing park. Our Addo Elephant Park day tours feature an opportunity to witness the unrivalled biodiversity. The park has something that no other reserve in the world can lay claim to – and that’s the Big 7 (the land-based Big 5 plus the southern right whale and great white shark). Sounds like time well spent to us.

See the sights of the city

PE might be the gateway to the Garden Route but that doesn’t mean that you should skip right past it. For those looking to get to know the ‘Friendly City’ and the rich history behind it, consider signing up for one of our day tours. Our Port Elizabeth City Tour is a walking tour through the inner city that starts from the Campanile Memorial, follows the famous historical Route 67 and takes in the Donkin Reserve at Belmont Terrace. This walking tour takes you through the history of one of the oldest cities in South Africa and shows you some of what makes this city special. So if you have some time to kill and would like to learn a bit about the Bay then look no further.
