Introduction to Addo Elephant National Park

Located in the Eastern Cape, approximately 70 kilometers northeast of Port Elizabeth, Addo Elephant National Park is celebrated for its remarkable wildlife diversity. Beyond its iconic elephants, the park hosts kudu, African buffalo, eland, South African hartebeest, bushbuck, warthog, plains zebra, black rhino, hyena, and leopard. Since 2003, lions have been introduced, completing the legendary "Big Five."

Private Safari Experience

Guests will be collected from the harbor in a private vehicle and transferred to the park, where they will switch to a dedicated, private open-game drive vehicle. This exclusive vehicle provides unobstructed views and the freedom to explore the park at a relaxed, flexible pace.

Lunch and Scenic Picnic Spots

A packed lunch is available, which can be enjoyed while watching wildlife or at one of the scenic picnic areas within the park, offering a perfect opportunity to unwind amid the natural beauty.

Following the game drive, guests will be transported back to the harbor, completing a memorable safari in one of Africa’s most renowned wildlife reserves.
