A SANCTUARY FOR GIANTS: THE ADDO ELEPHANT NATIONAL PARK
Addo Elephant National Park, established in 1931 to protect the last 11 elephants in the area, has grown into the third-largest national park in South Africa, covering over 1,640 square kilometers. Today, it is home to over 600 elephants, alongside a diverse array of other wildlife including lions, buffalo, leopards, and the endangered black rhino.
