Perhaps Ive been spoiled, but the diversity and abundance of WIldlife here isnt as good as some of the other reserves.

The park is not huge and can easily be done with in two days. Plenty of wildlife, especially elephant and also the bird life is great. Addo for me doesn't quite have the real "bush" feeling about it. It isn't the bushveld, but has its own unique feel. If or when it can be linked to the two other sections of the Greater Addo, namely the coastal section and the mountains stretching into the Baviaanskloof, then we are talking of a great park.

Iti s a nice park, but compared to others this would not be my first choice.

There seems to be an unbalance ecosystem present, as if too much human interference abides. I recommend more careful measures to be taken in future conservation and more training of staff.

I learned one must be in Addo when it is very dry (winter), since it is the only significant large watering hole for miles around. I got there Sept. 27, two days after the rains began, and though there were no elephants, nor any large game of any kind, I had a wonderful time photographing birds all around the camp. Dugout, ground-level photo blinds make for spectacular low angle shots, but as soon as the rains begin, the elephants and other aanimals quickly disperse.
Many birds! Addo is self-drivable, but there is lots of tall, dense brush which makes it advisable to hire or have a safari vehicle. Park vehicle are available but always full of tourists...not an option for me, as I need a steady, immobile platform for taking pix. I probably would not go back to Addo, but might consider other options near by.

It is not the real wildlife - if you have visited Kruger NP, Addo E.P. has the second place.

This park doesn't have the wild vibe as ones in the north, but there isn't much around this southern part of SA, therefore good for the region.

The Eastern Cape landscape is a bit bleak and does not convey the rich variety of other areas.

Lots of vegetation, lots of elephants and zebras, animals looked happy in that environment.

Great game viewing. Very poor food at main restaurant.
Rich in wildlife. Good viewing of elephants and plenty of other game.
The restaurant was a disappointment with Lack luster service and food quality poor.
