South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced that elephant contraception operations will take place at Addo Elephant National Park's Main Camp area on 22 March 2025. To ensure safety, SANParks advises visitors to keep a safe distance from the helicopter, support vehicles, and park staff during the procedure.
Located in South Africa's Eastern Cape, Addo 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.
