Giraffe Addo Adventures Addo Safaris

A day tour in Addo Elephant National Park is an unforgettable way to experience one of South Africa’s premier wildlife destinations. Here’s what you can expect during a typical day visit with our experienced guide that is going to Addo for the last 35 years.
Wildlife Sightings
Addo is most famous for its elephants—over 1200 of them roam the park. But there's much more:
• Big 5: Elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard (rare), and black rhino.
• Other animals: Warthogs, zebras, kudu, eland, red hartebeest, jackals, hyenas, and meerkats.
• Birds: Over 400 species, including the flightless dung beetle (unique to Addo), ostriches, and secretary birds.
We will be touring the Northern and Southern sections of the park and going to all the water holes where we will have the best chance of seeing these giants up close. This tour is a private tour because we do not mix guests from different families. This tour gives you the best picture opportunities possible in a comfortable closed Volkswagen Caddy vehicle.
