ADDO ELEPHANT NATIONAL PARK

All elephant herds in Africa and on Private Game Reserves have been handled by men, good or bad. The saying that elephants never forget has been proven over and over by the many bad experiences people and rangers have witnessed.

Addo’s herds have been rescued by the founding of the park 75 years ago.

Since the very aggressive original animals had passed away and the world famous Dr Anthony Hall-Martin being the head ranger of Addo for many years, taught our Elephants to be ‘people friendly’.

This is the only place in the world where you can be amongst a herd off elephants within hand reach and have nothing to fear.

Therefore Addo offers the Best Elephant viewing in the world.

DANIELL CHEETAH BREEDING FARM

Daniell Cheetah Breeding project was established in May 2001 and started with just three cats. It has since grown with breeding, purchase and swapping of animals.

The aim of this project is to play a part in the conservation of Cheetah's (Acinonyx jabatus), the re-establishment of pure gene lines, as well as educating people to the importance of conserving this amazing species.

The cheetah project offers a 'once-in-a-lifetime' experience where visitors do not only get an interesting, personalized tour, but actually get to interact with the animals. Visitors are encouraged to touch the cheetahs and have photographs with some of them. We believe this opens people's eyes to the importance of the Cheetah's conservation.

CANOPY TREE TOP TOUR

The tour begins with a detailed safety briefing followed by a “kitting up” session where full body harness, pulleys and climbing equipment is put on an checked. A short drive into the Tsitsikamma forest and it is time to monkey around!

From the start on the launch platform a new world unforlds as one gently glides on a steel cable to the first tree platform. All groups are escorted through the forest canopy by a lead guide and a follow guide to ensure your safety as you slide from tree to tree.

The platforms, built high up in the giant Outeniqua Yellowwoods, provide an unbelievable view of this enchanting new world – any fear of heights is soon lost as you gather in your new surroundings.

Spend a couple of minutes relaxing while your guides enthusiastically explain the ecology of the forest – pointing out different trees and the magnificent giant ferns way below.The bird life is incredible. Knysna Loeries, sightings of he elusive Narina Trogon and the Samago monkey are not uncommon. The Tstitsikamma Canopy Tour consists of ten platforms and ten “fufi” slides, the longest of which is 80m!
