Addo Elephant National Park 


Are you an adventure seeker or a nature lover? If so, the Eastern Cape of Southern Africa is a destination you can't miss. With plenty of activities, the Addo Elephant National Park is a must-visit. This park near Port Elizabeth is famous for its wildlife, particularly the majestic African elephant. Covering 1,640 km², it is the third-largest national park in South Africa and home to a diverse range of African wildlife. The park is surrounded by stunning scenery, including the Zuurberg mountain range and the high Alexandria dune fields, which are caressed by warm Indian Ocean waters.

If you plan to visit the Addo Elephant National Park, you'll want to know about the available safari options. One of the best ways to explore the park is through a guided safari or game drive. You can choose from two types of vehicles: an open vehicle and a closed tour vehicle.

  • An open-vehicle safari offers unobstructed views of the animals and landscape. You'll be seated in an open-air vehicle, which allows you to feel the breeze and smell the fresh air as you travel through the park. This type of safari is ideal for photographers who want to capture stunning images of the wildlife and the scenery. However, this option may not be suitable for a full-day Addo Safari and for those sensitive to the sun and wind or who prefer a more sheltered experience. (Open-top game viewer vehicles are only allowed by special permission of the Park Manager).
  • A game drive in a closed tour vehicle offers a more comfortable and secure experience. You'll be seated in a closed vehicle with windows that can be opened or closed depending on the weather. This option is ideal for those who want to stay protected from the sun, wind, or rain. It's also a good choice for families with young children or elderly people who may find it challenging to sit in an open vehicle for long periods.


Both options are great ways to explore the Addo Elephant National Park and see its unique wildlife; choose the one that best suits your preferences and budget.
