Description

Begin with a pickup from your accommodation in Port Elizabeth and head to the malaria-free Addo Elephant National Park. Keep an eye out for the park’s population of close to 700 African Elephants, herds of Buffalo, Lions, and the shy Leopard amongst the many species of Antelope, Zebra, and Warthog. After entering, check in and immediately start your game viewing experience, searching for the many and diverse creatures in the thickets and on the open plains while learning about the habitat in which they live. On returning to the main camp, enjoy a light lunch at the restaurant near the waterhole (not included). In the afternoon, continue the game drive, searching the thickets for Elephant, Eland, Red Hartebeest, as well as the stately Kudu, the males with their huge horns blending into the background. Leave the reserve to meet the ferry on the Sundays River, an estuary on the border of the Addo Elephant National Park. Board a ferry for a leisurely cruise on this wide calm waterway, searching the reed banks for a wide diversity of birdlife and some of the smaller creatures to be found here. Continue to the coast where you can view the beautiful wind-driven sand dunes that make up a part of the largest dune field in the Southern Hemisphere. Stop and climb the shifting sand dunes for a stunning view over the waters of Algoa Bay, St Croix Island with the largest colony of African penguins in the distance, and the possibility of sighting whales that seasonally visit this large protected bay. Soon after sunset, when the shadows have merged into dusk, depart back to Port Elizabeth, recounting the experiences of the day.
