Addo Elephant Park - Private Concessions Addo Elephant Park, situated in the malaria free area of the Eastern Cape, is about 70 km from the coastal city of Port Elizabeth in the Sundays River Valley. Enjoy the wide variety of game viewing available from Elephant, Black Rhino, Buffalo, a variety of antelope to the unique flightless dung beetle. To add to the wonders of the Park, guests can now experience the roar of lion and call of the hyena, which have both been introduced into the Park.
The Black Rhino and Cape Buffalo are also notable species, but unlike the elephant, these species are easier to see by night. Visitors should also look out for the flightless dung beetle, a species unique to the Addo region which feeds on the faeces of the large ungulates. There are also many other large herbivores, particularly antelope species such as kudu, eland, red hartebeest and springbok. The highly adaptable leopard has always managed to survive in the area and with the consolidation of the land during park expansion, lion have been reintroduced to complete the big five.
The obvious main attraction of the Addo Elephant Park is the park’s 350 or so African Elephants.
