A full day among Addo's gentle giants

Addo Elephant National Park is home to more than 600 elephants, known for being relaxed around vehicles and often allowing remarkably close viewing. This seven-hour safari gives you a full day to explore the park's varied landscapes with a registered nature guide, looking for elephants and the rest of the Big Five in malaria-free surroundings.

From your door to the park gate

Your guide collects you at 09:00 from your accommodation in or around Gqeberha, the airport or the cruise harbour. After a drive of roughly 40 minutes you enter through the southern Matyholweni Gate and begin game viewing straight away.

Big Five country

Spend the morning exploring the park's network of roads and waterholes. Besides elephants, look for buffalo, lion, spotted hyena and black rhino, as well as zebra, warthog, many antelope and abundant birdlife. Sightings depend on nature, but the variety of habitats keeps every hour interesting.

Lunch in the park

Break for a light lunch before continuing your game drive in the afternoon, then relax on the drive back to your accommodation, airport or ship.

A good fit for cruise passengers
