Addo is a little town, about an hour's drive from Port Elizabeth, renowned for its citrus farms, horse breeding, roses and abundant bird life. Its backdrop is the Zuurberg mountains, which offer a variety of hikes and horse trails for the adventurous. Addo has made its way onto the visitor's map of South Africa because of its proximity to the Greater Addo Elephant National park.
In the heart of the Sundays River Valley and close to Shamwari and Schotia Reserves, the Addo Elephant Park is one of South Africa's successful outcomes to what could have been an ecological disaster. History in the area is rife with clashes between local farmers and elephants, to whom crop damage and night raids were natural reactions to the invasion of their habitat. The elephant sanctuary is now home to over 350 elephants as well as the Cape Buffalo, a variety of antelope and the flightless dung beetle.
