The Eastern Cape landscape is a bit bleak and does not convey the rich variety of other areas.

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.
