Nice area close to Cape town and the Garden Route, mostly Elephants (never seen any other Big 5 animal there).

We visited this park last year and I was pleasantly surprised with the beauty of nature and its animals. We stayed in the park accommodation and we found them to be clean, comfortable, spacious and well equipped. What a pleasure. The parks shop has all that one needs when visiting a park and the public ablutions are clean and modern.The restaurant is geared for good food and the menu has quite a variety of South African dishes.

Concerning the wild life, this is a green park with lots of animal and you will see elephant. You can do your own game drives or use the Sanparks open vehicles. There are picnic spots that are well maintained but always remember that your are in a national park with wild animal and please be careful.

We will visit this park again in 2015 as we take in tour groups and we always enjoy this park.

One visit in 1986 is a great souvenir

Addo National Park is close to the idea than European are looking for in an African National Park: vast, diverse, beautiful. Enjoying with a semi-wild group of elephants in front of you is a great experience

Nice destination - you will see Elephants galore - not a great variety of other animals - accommodation is good but can become crowded with day visitors

Best Elephant sightings in a relatively small area.

Since the recent expansion of this park it has gained many additional attractions as far as bird and animal life is concerned. The possibilities of seeing whales is one of these attractions

I enjoyed my day trip to Addo, as it offered great views of a variety of beautiful animals. The only downside was that the scenic roads were quite clogged with cars.

Addo is renowed for the large herds of Elephants.
