Dust lifts along the 4x4 track as the vehicle eases into the wide, sun-baked spaces of Addo. Acacia scrub hisses at the wind; distant thunderheads build over the Baviaanskloof ridgeline. Guide, eyes trained on movement and spoor, points—an elephant bull loosens a mop of grass with a trunk that seems to measure the air itself.

History
Established in 1931 to save a remnant elephant population, Addo has since expanded to protect coastal and marine environments as well as inland species.
Conservation
The park balances high-volume tourism with targeted conservation programs for endangered black rhino and local species; visitors are asked to minimize disturbance and avoid feeding wildlife.
