![]() The Hippo Backpackers
A great backpacking hostel in the centre of Port Elizabeth. Hippo Backpackers in the centre of PE Homely and hearty, the Hippo backpackers is located in the historical heart of PE within easy reach of restaurants, 24hr shops and art museums. Owners Hermann and Tania take a hands-on approach to running this hospitable getaway so recharge your batteries with a wallow in the hippo-sized swimming pool then bask in the tranquil sunny atmosphere. With fires roaring and a braai on the go, share a few sundowners with friends while you plan your next Hippo tour. They offer game drives, township tours, cuddle a cheetah and hug-a-lion cub experiences. Daytrips to Addo and Schotia If you’re pressed for time and want to see it all, then the one day Addo/Schotia Safari is ideal. It’s a value for money tour in a malaria-free environment with sightings of lions guaranteed - just prepare to be humbled by the immense beasts that give Addo Elephant National Park its name. Schotia Safaris will then take you on a guided game drive where you’ll have the chance to get up close to rhino, hippo, giraffe and lion. Book a full day tour and stay one night free.
