Dawn arrives over the thornveld and the first elephants are already moving, trunks probing the scrub as a cool breeze pushes dust across the plains. You step into a luxury air-conditioned 4x4 and the guide eases the vehicle forward — the bush seems to breathe around you, birds calling as if announcing the day’s hunt.

History
Addo was established in 1931 to protect remaining elephants and has since expanded to include coastal marine sections; Mountain Zebra NP began as a small reserve to save the Cape mountain zebra from extinction.
Conservation
Both parks use entrance and community levies to fund anti-poaching and local development; visitors can support by following park rules and choosing certified local guides.

Start early for predator activity
Morning game drives (pre-dawn to mid-morning) give the best chance to see lions, cheetah and active elephant herds.
Bring good optics
A compact spotting scope or 8–10x binoculars makes distant sightings readable without disturbing animals.
Layer for temperature swings
Daytime can be hot while early mornings and Karoo nights are cool—pack a light insulated layer and windbreaker.
Respect tracking rules on foot
Follow your guide during cheetah tracking; keep noise low and stay downwind when possible to avoid disturbing wildlife.
Binoculars (8–10x)
Essential for scanning open plains and identifying distant species without disturbing them.
Sturdy walking shoes
Support for short on-foot tracking and uneven ground around hides and viewpoints.
Sun hat and sunscreen
Protects against strong midday sun during open-vehicle drives.
