Quick Addo Fact: The penguins in Addo are in trouble – Despite having elephant in the name, Addo Elephant National Park extends right down to the ocean and currently protects some very important islands in Algoa Bay, namely St Croix and Bird Island. African Penguins are more threatened than rhino are at this stage. Because they’re not a key species or a high profile one that people really know about, or care about penguins are on the sidelines. Their numbers have dwindled alarmingly and every ten years or so, their numbers halve and if it goes on at that rate, in the next twenty or thirty years there won’t be penguins around.’ Addo is responsible for the protection of about 50 percent of the total African Penguin population.

Quick Addo Fact: Spekboom is a superhero. Spekboom is prolific in the main game area of Addo and helps to sustain the Addo Elephant Park’s hearty population of over 600 elephants. The succulent spekboom regenerates quickly so the landscape doesn’t look devastated as it does in Kruger due to destructive elephant feeding. The plant is so good at converting carbon dioxide that ten hectares of spekboom would equal taking 25 cars off the road for a year. There are also places where the precious thicket opens up revealing wide plains of game with pinpricks of zebra in the distance and bigger blobs of eland. 79% of the park is covered in subtropical thicket and it is especially concentrated in the main game area. It may look uniform, but the subtropical thicket contains 112 different vegetation types and is comprised of 1 558 plant species – 322 of these species (20%) are endemic and found nowhere else.

Quick Addo Fact: Addo is a beautiful biodiversity hotspot – Our entire country can be divided into just nine biomes (a unique ecological unit with a characteristic set of plant, animal species and climate) and Addo stretches over five of these biomes, namely the Thicket, Forest, Succulent Karoo, Fynbos and Nama Karoo, and each biome has its own sets of key species. The big goal for the park is now to consolidate the land it has and create a functional ecological unit that stretches from the Karoo all across the mountains, fynbos, forest into the thicket and down across the coastal dune system. This diversity is key to its success. Conservation Manager John Adendorff says, ‘Addo is one of the most profitable parks. There’s nothing that even comes close for its size. It runs at 98% occupancy and there are very few spikes in the year, so it’s just consistent. It’s fully booked all the time and a very difficult place to get into.’

Quick Addo Fact: Trees in Addo are protected by bees – At some trees in the park, you can spot small white bee boxes. Elephants avoid these protected trees unless they have an absolute dire need and they simply have to eat it. Generally, elephants are scared of bees, because their ears are very sensitive. It’s a very thin layer of skin and that’s what the bees go for. They also sting them around the eyes, on the ears and the tip of the trunk. Addo has some special trees and ellies, funny enough, need those trees as well for shade. That’s the one big stress factor they have in Addo. It’s vital that elephants keep their body temperature at certain level, so when it gets hot they either need mud wallows to go to, or they need shade.

Quick Addo Fact: Two major environmental issues facing the AENP: extinction and overpopulation, which are interrelated. Since the AENP’s original mission was to reintroduce certain mega-herbivores, like the African elephant and black rhinoceros, primary ecological efforts were made to preserve mammalian species. However, by overlooking the other contributors to this environmental chain, certain plant species have been subjected to overgrazing and trampling, mostly by the elephants of the park. This overgrazing and trampling not only destroys much of the plant life, but also forces it to adapt its physiology to stimuli that are not inherent to its evolutionary progress. Some biologists argue that it is not herbivorization alone that is threatening the flora, but a number of other ecological factors including zoochory and nutrient cycling. Up to 77 species of South African endemic plant species have been listed as “vulnerable to elephant browsing.”
