Embark on a scenic journey from the pier, traveling across the majestic Swartkops River before winding through the sprawling Sunday River valley. Over the course of this captivating 48-mile drive, arrive at the renowned Addo Elephant Park, a sprawling sanctuary spanning nearly half a million acres that serves as a haven for approximately 450 unique Addo elephants.
Amazingly, this population has bred from the few elephants that remained in the area after the herd was almost wiped out in the 1920s. Witness these fascinating creatures, distinguishable by their reddish hue, distinct features, and smaller stature compared to their African elephant counterparts.
Delve into a thrilling two-hour game drive in the comfort of your coach, through the park's diverse terrain, encountering endemic wildlife like antelope and the flightless dung-beetle, a rare find only in Addo.
Conclude your adventure back in Port Elizabeth, having experienced the breathtaking beauty and incredible biodiversity of this natural wonderland.
