The Eastern Cape of South Africa is one of the fastest-growing tourist destinations in the world. It is host to the Addo Elephant Park and many other private game reserves. These malaria-free alternatives to the Kruger National Park offer the big 5 - Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Lion and Leopard - and due to the enormous expansions now include a marine section with seasonal whales and sharks, being touted as the "Big 7".

The Addo Elephant Park is a diverse and exciting adventure of wildlife and nature, as never experienced before. The park's 164 000 hectares stretches over a vast area from the vast Darlington Lake, across the breathtaking Zuurberg mountains, through the pristine dense valley bushveld of the beautiful Sundays River Valley to the lush green forests at the Woody Cape, which hug the largest coastal dune fields in the Southern Hemisphere, ending in the park's marine area at Bird Island & St Croix Island. Situated in the malaria-free Eastern Cape Province, only 60 minutes from Port Elizabeth, the Addo Elephant National Park is a key destination linked to the famous Garden Route. The Park is sanctuary to a multitude of game species and abundant birdlife, including over 450 elephants, Lions, Black Rhinos, Buffalos, Leopards, Zebra, Spotted Hyenas and a variety of Antelope species.
