General Information:
Located East along the coast from Port Elizabeth on the Eastern Cape, Addo Elephant National Park is a great park for family vacations and learning about conservation set on the backdrop of the undulating African bushveld. With the Eastern Cape elephant nearly wiped out at the beginning of the 20th Century, this park was founded, allowing the elephant population to bounce back – they now have 450 elephants roaming freely in the park living alongside Black Rhino, Zebra and many antelope species like Eland, Red Hartebeest and Kudu.
