Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Addo Elephant National Park, located in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, is one of the country's largest and most prominent national parks. The park spans a variety of landscapes, from the rugged Zuurberg Mountains to the arid Karoo. Established in 1931 initially to protect the last remaining elephants in the region, the park has expanded significantly to cover marine and island environments. Visitors can encounter a rich array of wildlife, including the 'Big Seven': elephants, lions, black rhinos, buffalos, leopards, southern right whales, and great white sharks. The park offers a wealth of recreational activities such as game drives, horse riding, hiking, and bird watching. Notable for its conservation achievements, Addo is a popular destination for anyone interested in Africa's unique fauna and stunning landscapes.
