Area Info

The superb natural setting of the Valley is famous for its abundant vegetation and wild life. You can be sure of a restful stay in the tranquillity and peace of mother nature.

As well as being a malaria-free province, the Eastern Cape is one of the most captivating regions of South Africa owing to its deep-rooted cultural traditions, the colour of its vegetation, its wildlife and the contrast of its landscapes: sea, mountain and savannah bush veldt.

The magnificent Eastern Cape environmental conditions have fostered the creation of some of the most important reserves and natural parks of South Africa, offering a unique setting to Addo Palace as its limits border the famous reserve of the Addo Elephant National Park that houses one of the largest populations of elephants on the continent, as well as antelope and big cats.

Addo Elephant National Park is the third largest reserve in South Africa and the only one in the world which is home to the "big seven": elephant, lion, leopard, rhinoceros, buffalo, whale and white shark, the last two being found in maritime zones located close to the area.

Addo Palace offers you the chance to enjoy an authentic African experience just one hour from the largest city in Eastern Cape, Port Elizabeth where there is an airport.

The city of Port Elizabeth, located on the shores of the Indian Ocean, has one of the largest ports of South Africa. Temperatures are moderate and pleasant throughout the year.

The main attractions of Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) are its clean beaches and temperate waters of Nelson Mandela (formerly Algoa) Bay, ideal for water sports or for enjoyment of the magnificent sea scenery including coral reefs. The city also has many places of historical and architectural interest to visit.

The natural habitat, the management of resources and the balance of nature, in the Eastern Cape, make it the perfect destination for safaris in South Africa.
