Important Notice: Game capture operations at Addo Elephant National Park (12 - 16 May 2025)!

South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced scheduled game capture operations in the Main Camp area of Addo Elephant National Park from 12 May to 16 May 2025. Visitors are urged to keep a safe distance from the helicopter and capture teams during these operations. Additionally, SANParks requests that guests remain vigilant and allow vehicles involved in the operation to pass along the park roads.

Located in South Africa's Eastern CapeAddo Elephant National Park is renowned for its thriving elephant population and diverse wildlife. Established in 1931 to protect the region’s last remaining elephants, the park has successfully grown their numbers from just 11 to over 600. Many of Addo's elephants are naturally tuskless, a genetic trait linked to past hunting pressures.
Beyond elephants, Addo Elephant National Park is home to the Big Five - lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and buffalo - as well as various marine species, making it one of South Africa's most diverse and unique conservation areas.
