Addo Elephant National Park, located in the Eastern Cape, is South Africa’s third-largest national park. Originally established in 1931 to protect the last 11 elephants in the area, the park is now home to over 600 elephants along with lions, buffalo, black rhino, leopard, and many other species.
The park has been expanded to include a marine section, making it the only park in the world where the Big Seven — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhino, southern right whale, and great white shark — can potentially be encountered.
