Addo Elephant National Park

Why go

The park’s 1931 origin gives elephant viewing a conservation story. Its later expansion toward Woody Cape and marine areas means Addo is more varied than its name suggests. Decide whether your visit focuses on the original wildlife area or the broader coastal landscape.

What to look for

• Addo was founded to protect a small remnant elephant population.
• The protected area extends beyond the original elephant habitat toward the coast.

Useful to know

• Choose the relevant park section before travelling; the inland and marine areas are distinct.
• Allow a separate plan for coastal features rather than assuming they are part of one short game drive.
