Addo situated in the Eastern Cape of South Africa is fast becoming the tourist destination of choice. This malaria free area and citrus capital of South Africa is home to the "Big 5" (Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Lion and Leopard) of Addo Elephant National Park and the many other Private Game Reserves. The enormous expansions to the Greater Addo Park now include a marine section with seasonal Southern Right Whales and Great White Sharks which introduce the Addo "Big 7".

The Sundays River Valley and Addo, are situated a short 72km by road from Port Elizabeth Airport and is a must visit destination for outdoor and wildlife enthusiasts.

The Addo Region is the biggest citrus producing area in South Africa and offers visitors quality self catering accommodation options. Lying at the foot of the Zuurberg Mountains activities are varied from citrus farm and pack house tours to close encounters with local reptiles and birds of prey or Game Drives at Schotia Safaris or Addo Elephant Park.

The Addo Elephant National Park was established in 1931 to save 11 Elephants on the brink of extinction. The Park is now home to Elephant, Lion, Cape Buffalo, Black Rhino, Hyena, the rare Flightless Dung Beetle and a range of Antelope species. This Botanical Paradise, is home to five of the South Africa's seven biomes.

The park now known as the Addo Elephant National Park, has grown to more than 125 000 hectares and plans are underway to grow much larger still - about 400 000 hectares. New routes and sections are being opened up to wildlife enthusiasts as the boarders of this "Big 5" sanctuary increase. The Addo Elephant herd presently numbers over 400, a tribute to the long-term conservation efforts of South Africa National Parks (SANParks).
