Get in

Addo NP is about 70km north-east from Port Elizabeth. There is no public transport to or within the park so you need your own car (car rental is available in Port Elizabeth). Or book an organized tour but going on your own pace is really the best option. The park can be visited on a day-trip from Port Elizabeth. One the road you might notice signs to the 'Addo Olifant Nasionale Park'. These signs are the old Afrikaans version of the more modern road signs.

Get around

As mentioned above there is no public transport in the park and hiking is prohibited.

See & Do

The Park is famous for its elephant population that has a special, brownish skin colour due to the red soil. Amongst the elephants other animals, like ostriches, different antelopes and warthogs can be seen. The introduction of a group of lions to the parked is planned with the park's expansion.

Although the Addo is not as spectacular as other parks like the Kruger National Park, it is not as crowded and those who know Addo, love it.

Eat & Drink

There is a restaurant and shop near the park entrance.

Sleep

There is a camp in the Addo, which boosts a restaurant, camping facilities and a number of chalets for overnight stays. Some accommodation is available outside the park in Addo village.
