南非东开普省的阿多大象国家公园(Addo Elephant National Park)是野生动物爱好者的天堂。这里不仅生态丰富,还提供多样的游览方式,非常适合家庭旅行或短途 safari 爱好者。
阿多大象国家公园是南非第三大国家公园,地形从卡鲁半干旱植被、茂密灌木丛延伸至沿海沙丘,涵盖内陆到海岸的多样生态,丰富了公园的野生动物栖息地。
园内拥有超过六百头非洲大象,是全球象群保护的重要基地。除此之外,还能观赏到狮子、水牛、黑犀牛、豹等“非洲五大”动物。如果进入沿海区域,还有机会看到南露脊鲸或大白鲨,使阿多成为少数可以体验“非洲七大”的地点之一。
公园无疟疾风险,道路状况良好,自驾便利,即便是短途旅行也可欣赏丰富野生动物,非常适合带儿童同行的家庭。
从格贝哈(Gqeberha,原名 Port Elizabeth)驾车约 35–40 分钟即可抵达南门,交通便捷。进入公园需支付保护费,费用根据成人或儿童以及本地或国际游客有所不同。
时间有限的游客可安排一天自驾,重点追踪大象和其他大型哺乳动物。如果时间充裕,两天以上的行程可以深入探索不同生态区,并在清晨或傍晚观察更多动物活动。
公园内提供舒适的小屋、帐篷营地,也可选择园外旅馆。旺季建议提前预订,以确保行程顺利。
旱季(一般为 5 月至 9 月)时,动物集中在水源附近,更易观察。清晨和傍晚是拍摄野生动物、尤其是象群的最佳时间。
Jon Styles Seeing herds of elephants taking turns at the water hole and a pride of lions within a couple of hours was exciting. The restaurant was enjoyable and the gift shop fully stocked.
Bruce NZ Located in the Eastern Cape, Addo has a history that began in 1930s with the mission to protect the elephants in the area. Only eleven elephants were left and today, Addo is home to over 600 elephants, along with a range of other wildlife including lions, black rhino's and other animals. The park is the third-largest national park in South Africa, covering a variety of landscapes from dense bush to the Indian Ocean coastline.
Josh (SaltyNomadicLife) Addo Elephant Park is a fantastic destination for anyone looking to get up close with the gentle giants of the wild. The elephant interactions here are truly amazing, providing unforgettable memories and countless photo opportunities. During our visit, we were also lucky enough to spot Cape buffalo and lions, albeit in the distance, which added to the thrill of the safari. However, one aspect that might be slightly disappointing is the size of the park. It feels a bit smaller compared to some other national parks, giving it more of a private game reserve feel. This isn't necessarily a drawback but might affect the expectations of those looking for a vast, expansive wilderness. Overall, though, Addo Elephant Park is definitely worth a visit for its unique wildlife encounters and stunning landscapes.
Leslie Clemence PE Living less than an hour away from this magnificent wild area is such a privilege. was have stayed over several times, but just going for a drive through the park is very worthwhile. Such a selection of wildlife, from tiny birds to the mighty elephants.
Chris Jay Large variety of wildlife, well kept camps and easy driving. The roads, both tar and dirt, are well maintained. The main camp was a great stop for a cold beer and refreshments. The water hole below the main camp was full of wildlife and an experience. A beautiful weekend and lots of great sightings.
