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.’
