Addo Elephant Park
The most popular game reserve in the Port Elizabeth area is the
Addo Elephant Park, just a 45-minute drive from the city. There are
currently about 500 celephants in residence in the park, which was
recently enlarged. Addo was proclaimed in 1931 in an effort to save
the remaining 11 elephants indigenous to the area. The elephants
are drawn to watering holes at certain times and sightings are
virtually guaranteed all year round. There are other animals in the
park too, including lion, leopard, black rhino, buffalo, zebra,
warthog and several types of buck. Guided game drives are available
or visitors can do a self-drive tour using the map issued at the
entrance. Serviced accommodation is available and there is a
restaurant and picnic site at the Park.

the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily
limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards
are widely accepted, except in petrol stations where cash is
required. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs,
as con artists are known to operate there. Travellers cheques and
some foreign currencies are accepted at larger hotels and shops,
but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
