South Africa (6) - Addo Elephant Park near Port Elizabeth

After visiting the St Lucia area, we continued to drive west towards Addo Elephant Park, located near Port Elizabeth. Unlike in Kruger where we were driven, we decided to drive through Addo Park on our own hoping that the elephants would not decide to play tricks on us :)) We saw many, many elephants and lots of other animals in the park including a few lions. We stayed in two different places just outside the park. One was a tipi surrounded by giraffes, monkeys and besboks. Fun, fun, fun! Here are some pictures.

one is from time to time bound to trip over a trunk"
