Elephant at Addo


We've been to Addo Elephant Park today. Scott's mum and nan joined us so we swapped the hire car for a van to provide a bit more space.

The park is VAST, covering 164,000 hectares and houses the big 5. We only saw elephants out of the 5 today, but boy did we see a lot of them. Must have been at least 40.

This is a photo of a bull elephant that walked right past our vengabus. Bloody scary when it's just feet away from your window.

Aside from huge elephants we also saw baby warthogs (so, so cute), kudu (which tastes like woody blue cheese - I'm not a fan!), herons, a buzzard and lots of snakes in one of the waterholes.

And that pretty much concludes our animal spotting for the trip. But that's probably a good thing, anymore animals and I might start getting a bit jaded. "oh look, MORE elephants. Wowwww"

We're now heading back to PE for a braai (BBQ) and to play on the beach and the rock pools.
