Addo Elephant Safari
The journey, one day at a time
Into Addo Elephant National Park
Arrive in Addo Elephant National Park, met and transferred to your accommodation. For families with children, or anyone wary of anti-malarials, much of Africa's classic safari is off-limits. Addo offers the full Big Five with no malaria risk, an hour from a major airport, and pairs naturally with the Garden Route — which is exactly why it is the safe, easy gateway to South African wildlife.
Elephants, malaria-free
Game drives to the waterholes for Addo's great elephant herds, with the Big Five and no malaria risk. More of the park — elephants in number, plus the chance of lion, buffalo and the coast.
