Addo - Elephant Experience

Elephant Experience in Addo, South Africa.

This sub-tropical region has all the attributes you’d expect from an African safari with the added benefits of being a malaria free zone and easy to get to; Port Elizabeth is less than an hour’s drive away. The natural environment around the town of Addo displays a mosaic of different vegetation types from the classic thorny African scrub to species rich mountain fynbos. In summer thunderstorms roll across the Zuurberg mountains. Warm fat drops of rain soak the parched soils releasing that earthy aroma South African’s long for when they are in Europe.

And when it comes to that most important part of any trip into the African bush- engaging with wildlife-Addo does not disappoint. An elephant experience will etch your Addo getaway deeply into your memory. These colossal lumbering creatures will surprise you with their gentleness, as you walk with them, feed them and touch them. Skilled elephant handlers will share the deep knowledge they have acquired from years of working with these special animals.
