Sunset Cruises in Addo, South Africa.
There’s no better way to unwind after an intense day navigating around bulky elephants and rare flightless dung beetles in Addo Elephant National Park than with a boat trip. It’s also a relaxing way to see one of Addo’s most famous natural phenomenon’s - the Alexandria Dune Field. Still expanding milometer by milometer, year by year, this is the largest unspoilt coastal dune field in the world. Sunset cruises on the languid Sundays River take guests down to the beautiful estuary at the river mouth where you can disembark at the highest dunes and, if you still have energy left from your day of exploring, hike up to the summit. From here you can see Addo Elephant National Park’s marine protected zones and Islands.
Sometimes African fish eagles and ospreys make an appearance in the dusky sky high above the double decker river cruiser and keen-eyed passengers might spot small buck or vervet monkeys in the dense riverine thicket along the southern bank. Just another perfect African sunset…
