About Addo Elephant National Park

Addo Elephant National Park near Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) protects more than 600 elephants, the densest population in Africa, in malaria-free Eastern Cape bush. Watching a breeding herd jostle around Hapoor waterhole at arm's length is Addo's signature moment. The park now runs from the Zuurberg mountains to the coast, making it the world's only Big Seven reserve: lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo inland, southern right whales and great white sharks off Algoa Bay. It anchors any Garden Route safari perfectly.
