Interesting Sites and Natural Wonders
Addo Elephant National Park
As the name implies, the Addo Elephant National Park is one the best places to see these beautiful long-tusked mammals. The park is located in the Eastern Cape region of the country, about 70 kilometers away from Port Elizabeth. Visitors can also see zebras, warthogs, buffaloes, as well as lions and ostriches. Rumor has it that park keepers used to feed oranges to the elephants during droughts, and although the practice has stopped, old elephants still reach into vehicles to get the fruits!
