Addo Elephant National Park, the third-largest national park, is not only home to the traditional Big Five, but the Big 7, which includes the Southern right whale and Great white shark in its marine environment.
Situated a mere 30 minutes drive from the nearest large town and airport in Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth), the Park is perfectly situated to show off all its natural wonders with all who wish to visit – from the small flightless dung beetles to the hundreds of grey mammoths, the Park was formed to protect and so much more in between!
Activities at Addo abound – from self-drive game viewing, guided game drives and 4×4 trails to short walks and longer overnight hikes or simply bird watching or relishing in a relaxing spa treatment. Addo has it all!
