Addo Elephant National Park Guided Safari and Tour of Gqeberha
You will begin your day with an early breakfast before heading to Addo National Park for a half-day guided game drive with an experienced ranger, complete with drinks and snacks. Established in 1931 to protect the 11 remaining Cape or Addo elephants from extinction, Addo Elephant National Park has grown from its 2,000 hectares to approximately 180,000 hectares (1,800 km²) of diverse bushveld, plus an additional 180,000 hectares including marine areas. The park is home to over 600 elephants—four times the density found in Kruger National Park—along with 400 Cape buffalo, 48 black rhinos, and various antelope species It features the 'Big 7'—the Big 5 plus the Southern Right Whale and Great White Shark—making it the only park in South Africa where you can search all these iconic animals. Initially, the park covered 7,000 hectares, but the lack of fencing allowed elephants to raid neighboring farms. After unsuccessful attempts with electrified fencing, ranger Graham Armstrong proposed using old lift cables and tram rails. An experimental fence built in 1951 proved successful, leading to the establishment of a 2,500-hectare fenced area for exclusive elephant use, with materials donated by public companies. In addition to elephants, the reserve is home to many other mammals, including nocturnal aardvarks, duikers, caracals, bushbuck, and kudu. The Cape buffaloes here are particularly noteworthy, having adapted from daytime grazing herds to solitary night browsers. East African black rhinoceros is another threatened species thriving in the reserve, which also hosts over 150 bird species, from ostriches to raptors and waterfowl. Addo is South Africa's only national perk where you have to opportunity to search for the Big7.
