Eastern Cape: Addo Elephant

South Africa’s third largest national reserve, the Addo Elephant National Park lies in the malaria-free Sundays River valley in the Eastern Cape, just over an hour’s drive from Port Elizabeth. The park is set deep within the dense valley bushveld of the Sundays River region of the Eastern Cape.

Addo Elephant National Park is a magnificently diverse national park and offers a wide variety of game viewing, outdoor adventure, accommodation and cultural experiences. Remarkably, Addo is home to one of the densest African Elephant populations on earth, roughly 550 of them. The park includes Bird Island and St. Croix Island in Algoa Bay and is home to the Big Seven – Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, Humpback Whale and Great White Shark.
