in Addo
Deep within the shadows of the dense valley bushveld
of the Sundays River region of the Eastern Cape lies the Addo Elephant
National Park. Here, the evenings are punctuated by the strident howl of
the black-backed jackal, and the francolin's call heralds each new dawn.
Safe from relentless persecution in the past, the grey leviathans of the
bush now roam in peace.
The original Elephant section of the park was proclaimed in 1931, when
only eleven elephants remained in the area - today this finely tuned
ecosystem is sanctuary to over 420 elephants, 450 Cape buffalo, black
rhino, a variety of antelope species, as well as the unique flightless
dung beetle, found almost exclusively in Addo.
For the first time in over 100 years, lion and spotted hyena were
reintroduced to the park.
Some of its unique features include:
- unrivalled natural diversity, with five of South Africa's seven
major
vegetation zones (biomes)
- the Big 7 (elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo, leopard, whales and great
white sharks) in their natural habitat
- the future proclamation of a 120 000 hectare (296 500 acre) marine
protected area that includes islands that are home to the world's
largest breeding colonies of Cape gannets and African penguins.
- rich heritage of archaeological and historical sites.
- accommodation and activity options for all tastes.
