Addo Elephant National Park was proclaimed in 1931
to provide a safe haven for the few wild elephants
who survived government-sponsored culling to remove
them in the early 20th century.
elephants number in their hundreds, thanks to the
efforts of the National Parks Board and a unique
vegetation type - subtropical thicket, or valley
bushveld. It is this thick, impenetrable vegetation
that has not only provided protection for the
elephants and buffalo in the area, but also provided
a rich food source, supporting what is now the most
dense population of wild elephants on the planet.
Our tour concentrates on finding and viewing
are a definite bonus, while you may also be lucky
enough to see dung beetles keeping the park tidy!
Relax and enjoy yourself. Combine the
morning Addo Trip with the afternoon /
evening Schotia Tooth & Claw safari to
experience the best game viewing the
Eastern Cape can offer.
