The Allure of Addo in Winter
Many people think of summer as the prime season for travel, but winter in Addo reveals a quieter, more intimate side of this incredible destination. Whether you’re looking for a wildlife adventure or a relaxing break surrounded by nature, winter offers a host of unique experiences.
Why Visit Addo in Winter?
Cooler Temperatures
Enjoy comfortable days averaging 20°C and chilly, cosy evenings perfect for stargazing or relaxing by the fire.
Prime Wildlife Viewing
Winter is one of the best times to see animals in Addo Elephant National Park, as vegetation is less dense and animals gather at waterholes. Spot elephants, lions, buffalo, and more – often in fewer crowds than during the summer peak.
Incredible Sunrises & Sunsets
The low winter sun casts a warm, golden light across the valleys and plains – perfect for photography and peaceful moments on the veranda.
Seasonal Citrus Harvest
Winter is citrus harvest time in the Sundays River Valley, meaning you’ll enjoy the freshest, juiciest fruit – often picked straight from the trees on the property!
