The park is not huge and can easily be done with in two days. Plenty of wildlife, especially elephant and also the bird life is great. Addo for me doesn't quite have the real "bush" feeling about it. It isn't the bushveld, but has its own unique feel. If or when it can be linked to the two other sections of the Greater Addo, namely the coastal section and the mountains stretching into the Baviaanskloof, then we are talking of a great park.

There is a lot of open space which is ideal for elephant spotting. You will see a lot of elephant! Other game is harder to spot. It is also a very busy park.

The wildlife, especially elephants, is abundantly viewable.

Well worth two nights and use of the game drive to find way around.
We stayed at the main camp for two nights to get a whole day of self drive. Upon arrival we checked in ate at the excellent restaurant then booked an evening game drive. This gave me an idea of driving around. On day two we self drove all day, well after exploring the camp with my camera. For lunch we stopped at Jacks picnic site, which was well equipped. Self drive was a good idea as I could focus on what I wanted to photograph, not just seeing the Big Five. Loved the idea of the stop and get out spots, got some really good photos. All the staff were really helpful. Intend to go back and hopefully stay for more than two nights, maybe even do a 4x4 tour. Only down side was the accommodation was not warm in the evening this time of year, but other than that really pleased with the accommodation and the view, we overlooked the park right next to the fence.
Very nice scenery, a lot of wildlife

The most underrated park in South Africa - an all round experience of a game park at it's best
I visited Addo twice - the second time was even more enjoyable than the first. There is an abundance of wildlife, especially large herds of elephants. Twice we encountered three different groups - more then 20 per group - in the same area. What a sight! The roads are excellent, even for the smallest cars. The accommodation facilities are well looked after and very clean and cater for a large variety of liking. There is a restaurant for them that don't want to do self-catering. We couldn't wait to get up early morning to do a game drive and came in last every evening. Addo Elephant National Park is a photographers dream because you are so close to the wildlife.

A great way to spend a day in Africa
The bush in many places in Addo is very thick which can make spotting game a bit challenging at times. As we only visited for the day I can not comment on accommodation, however we did visit the restaurant at the main camp and were very impressed by the meal. Everything from arriving, purchasing our day pass

and moving around the park worked efficiently and the park appears to be very well run. We will certainly visit again if we are lucky enough to find ourselves in this part of the world again.

We only had about three hours there as part of a tour of the Eastern Cape, so not much time to see many animals. We did see two herds of elephants drinking at the dam which was an amazing sight to see.
