1 guide · 0 picks on our Africa-wide lists

Addo Elephant National Park is South Africa's third-largest national park and, as SANParks puts it, home to the Big Seven, adding southern right whale and great white shark in its marine section to the Big Five. It is malaria-free and close to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), with SANParks rest camps for self-drivers and private lodges on concessions inside the park.
