Addo Elephant National Park - Self-Drive

Malaria-Free Safaris near Port Elizabeth and The Garden Route

The malaria-free Addo Elephant National Park is only an hour's drive from Port Elizabeth, and is one of the most scenic National Parks in South Africa - the rolling green hills covered in thick, lush vegetation, most of it evergreen, makes it an attractive place to visit at any time of the year.

The Park began in 1931, when a small area of land was set aside to protect the African elephant population of only 11 left in the area.

Today, it is home to over 450 elephants, who roam freely among the now 125,000 hectare reserve alongside buffalo, kudu and red hartebeest, and the rare black rhino, as well as over 400 bird species - and not forgetting the unique flightless dung beetle, found almost exclusively in Addo.

Addo has the greatest density of elephant per square kilometre in Africa, and offers some wonderful elephant viewing opportunities.
