There are several Big 5 safari destinations to choose from in the Eastern Cape but the most famous is Addo Elephant National Park, situated about a 45-minute drive from Port Elizabeth and now, thanks to the incorporation of a marine reserve, home to an extraordinary bio-diversity.
For exclusive game viewing away from the crowds, we recommend staying in one of Addo's private concessions or at one of the private reserves listed below. These destinations are where to go in the Eastern Cape for stress-free family safaris or indulgent honeymoons as each reserve has a range of tailored accommodation and activities to suit all visitors.
