Addo Elephant Park full of lions.
Overall rating
4/5

Addo Elephant park is a beautiful park that have a nice nature view plus a nice wildlife scene. When I been in the park I thought I will come and because it's called "Elephant park" I will see a lot of elephants but actually my all time there I saw only two Elephants, but I saw a massive amount of lions.

When we drove in the park in the beginning we didn't see much animals or birds but then after couple of kilometres we saw couple of cars gathering in one place, we got there slowly and what we saw was one of the most beautiful scenes I ever saw, A lion mom I guess and her two grown old cabs (In a size of grown male but acting young) Playing with each other like they practising a fight; Every couple of minuets also the mom joined them and rested. after about half an hour we kept driving and we saw another male lion alone walking and after another short drive another group of lions sitting beside a tree.

The weather in Addo was clear and the road is very comfortable to drive on your own without 4X4.

Maybe I didn't see a lot of Elephants like I thought I would see, but in less then one day I saw a lot of Lions.

Worst service at Addo Elephant Park
Overall rating
1/5

We arrived with no water at our accomodation and still had no water when we checked out. The park did not even have the decency to inform us of the problem let alone deliver a bucket of water for toilet use. We ended up having to go with bottles to reception to fill up so we could flush our toilet and at least wash our faces and brush our teeth last night and this morning.
This is disgusting for the amount you pay to stay in the park.
We won't be using Addo again.
