There is far more to Addo than just elephants! The highlight of our visits to my families citrus farms in Addo is always the Addo Elephant National Park, but Addo has such a variety of Adventure Activities in store for visitors. I often get asked by friends and fellow travellers for my list of favourite activities in the Greater Addo Area:
Addo Park Tour
When it comes to a game drive in Addo Elephant Park visitors are spoilt for choice and you can drive yourself, enjoy a guided game drive with a park ranger, hire a hop-on guide to drive with you or my favourite is to book a Addo Elephant Park Tour with a qualified tour guide.
The Best Addo Elephant Park Tour Company, Crisscross Adventures offers personalised guided tours through the Addo Elephant National Park. Their Half or Full-Day Addo Park Tours are offered in air-conditioned vehicles. The experienced and accredited tour guides are a wealth of knowledge and will ensure that you have a memorable experience at a leisurely pace, ideal for finding the perfect photographic opportunities. The Full-day Park Tour includes a fabulous traditional South African braai.
Addo Zip Line
Adrenalin Addo’s zip line is the highest, longest and fastest double zip line in South Africa. Twin cables – each 500 metres long descend from an impressive departure tower perched seventy metres above Addo’s Sundays River.
The closest you will come to flying without wings!
Adrenalin Addo’s hands-free zip line, allows you to reach an average speed of 60 – 80 km/h, before the built-in automated braking system brings riders to a smooth and exhilarating stop.
Addo Night Drive
With one of the world’s densest elephant populations, the Addo Elephant Park night drive promises wildlife experiences aplenty. It’s a park full of surprises, and with several predators hunting at night, you never know what awaits.
What eyes will be watching you from the darkness of night, no one knows as Addo Elephant Park has a host of nocturnal animals which may be encountered. There’s something special and exhilarating about a guided Addo Park Night Drive in an open safari vehicle. The Guided night drives last approximately two hours.
Addo River Safari
The popular Addo River Safari offer guests the best bird watching experience in the Eastern Cape, where one can find countless water birds, 7 different species of Kingfisher and the chance of sighting the magnificent Fish Eagle.
Crisscross Adventures offer guided Addo River Safari allowing you to explore game and birds while you drift down some of the most scenic parts of the Sunday’s River in a custom designed, comfortable and safe canoe. The Custom Canoes are ultra stable, providing excellent sighting and photographic opportunities to wildlife photographers and bird watching enthusiasts.
