Addo Elephant National Park

Addo Elephant National Park near Port Elizabeth holds the world's highest density of African elephants, with a population exceeding 600 individuals across its malaria-free reserve. The park's dense Eastern Cape thicket vegetation makes wildlife watching at waterholes particularly productive, and the park also harbours lion, black rhino, buffalo, and spotted hyena. An offshore marine section protects great white sharks and breeding colonies of Cape gannets.
