Why this trip
Elephants heading to the waterhole at dusk, followed by dinner under the open sky: Addo is a safari destination in South Africa's Eastern Cape that is considered malaria-free. That makes it interesting for couples who want to see wildlife without worrying about prophylaxis. The best time is from May to September. In Addo Elephant National Park you drive through bushland in an open vehicle, and the herds often stay close to the road.
The reserve advertises the «Big Seven», meaning the five well-known big game animals plus whale and great white shark in the sea. Schotia Safaris Private Game Reserve is nearby and suits an evening drive with a smaller group. Among the places to stay, the Gorah Elephant Camp is a place for two in the middle of the bush. From Addo, Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg and Hluhluwe can be reached as further stops on a South Africa holiday.
A honeymoon can therefore combine safari and city. How to divide the nights can be discussed on a video call.
