Addo Elephant National Park

The original section of the park was proclaimed in 1931, when only eleven elephants remained in the area - today the park is sanctuary to over 450 elephants, Cape buffalo, black rhino and a variety of antelope species. There are plans to double the size of the Addo National Elephant Park in the future, which would turn Addo from a 164,000 ha park into a 360,000 ha mega-park.

There are several look-out points in the park and an underground viewing hide, where visitors can observe and enjoy the natural behaviour of the animals.
