Addo Elephant National Park, one of South Africa's largest, is renowned for its elephants but offers a diverse landscape encompassing river valleys, mountains, savannahs, forests, and beaches.

In addition to elephants, whose population has grown from fewer than a dozen to over 600 since the park's inception in the 1930s, visitors can encounter lions, buffalo, various antelope, rhino, Cape fur seals, penguins, southern right whales, and even great white sharks.

Addo boasts excellent tourist facilities, accommodation, easy access, and a good road network. Activities such as hiking, kayaking, and horse riding provide alternatives to traditional safaris, making it an attractive family destination.
