Best national parks in the Eastern Cape

The Eastern Cape is South Africa’s malaria-free safari region, which makes it the choice for families and for anyone ending a Garden Route drive at Port Elizabeth, now Gqeberha. Addo Elephant National Park, founded in 1931 to protect the last eleven elephants in the area, now holds more than six hundred and can be driven in your own car or on guided drives, with lions, buffalo and black rhino present and a marine section offshore. Amakhala and Schotia are private reserves close by: Schotia is known for an affordable afternoon-and-evening drive with dinner in the bush, Amakhala for lodge stays.
