South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced that elephant capture operations are taking place today, 05 March 2025, in the Main Camp area of Addo Elephant National Park. The operation began at 06:00 this morning. For safety reasons, SANParks urges visitors to exercise caution and to stay clear of the helicopter, support vehicles, and staff involved in the operation.
Addo Elephant National Park, situated in South Africa's Eastern Cape, is famous for its thriving elephant population. Established in 1931 to protect the last remaining elephants in the region, the National Park has successfully increased their numbers from just 11 to over 600. Many of Addo Elephant National Park's elephants are naturally tuskless, a result of past hunting pressures. The National Park offers a vital sanctuary for these animals and provides visitors with incredible opportunities to observe them in their natural habitat. In addition to elephants, Addo Elephant National Park is home to the Big Five and various marine species, making it one of South Africa's most diverse conservation areas.
