Wildlife viewing can be good, with guaranteed viewing of elephant, often very close.
This is a beautiful park and the increased size includes some very scenic areas.
Parts of the park have good bush vibe, but it can be very busy at peak times.
Birding is good, with the a few biomes converging within the park, e.g. it is possible to see Cape, Red-eyed and Dark-capped Bulbuls in the park on the same day.

After having visited the kruger national park and the St Lucia wetlands we visited the Addo elephant park. I expected many elephants here and that proved to be true. We sqaw many of them and we enjoyed to see them from a short distance and we could study their behaviour. What we did not expect were the other animals we saw here. we saw koedoes, zebra's, wild pigs, water birds and a buffalo.

Addo is renowed for the large herds of Elephants.

I enjoyed my day trip to Addo, as it offered great views of a variety of beautiful animals. The only downside was that the scenic roads were quite clogged with cars.

Since the recent expansion of this park it has gained many additional attractions as far as bird and animal life is concerned. The possibilities of seeing whales is one of these attractions

Nice destination - you will see Elephants galore - not a great variety of other animals - accommodation is good but can become crowded with day visitors

Addo National Park is close to the idea than European are looking for in an African National Park: vast, diverse, beautiful. Enjoying with a semi-wild group of elephants in front of you is a great experience
