world famous Addo Elephant National Park, is of course, the premier tourist attraction of
Addo and, indeed of South Africa's Eastern Cape.
Here visitors from all
over the world come to get up close and personal with the Addo
elephants as well as the other game in the
malaria-free environment of the park. A couple of years ago
the first lions were introduced into the park, making it a Big Five
attraction.
The park is undergoing
massive enlargement which will in due course make it a Big Seven
park, in other words including the great white shark and the
southern right whale.
Just forty minutes' drive
from Addo is the city of Port Elizabeth. Here are to be found
numerous attractions to interest the visitor. For the
historically minded there is much to see in the way of monuments,
museums and period architecture, including some fine Regency
buildings.
For the sportsman there
are excellent facilities for participating in or watching
practically all sports, whether on the land, sea or air.
Long stretches of white
beach and warm sea invite visitors to relax in the sun while
beautiful parks and nature reserves invite one to take a healthy
walk in pleasant surroundings.
For the more sedentary,
there are numerous cinemas, good shopping malls, restaurants and a
casino complex.
