Why visit Addo Elephant Park?
It is now the third largest national park in South Africa with a wide range of biodiversity, landscapes, fauna and flora. Addo covers plus minus 180 000 hectares (444 700 acres) including the Bird and St Croix Island groups.
Addo was originally proclaimed in 1931 with only 11 elephants, currently is a sanctuary to over 600 elephants, lion, buffalo, black rhino, spotted hyena, leopard, a variety of antelope and zebras and for the insect “hunters” there’s also the unique flightless Addo dung beetle.
Here you can experience the less known “Big 7” which includes the Big 5 as well as the southern right whale and great white shark of the Algoa Bay coast.
