Addo Elephant Park-Video Blog

While Grandpa Gary and Grandma Connie were here, we made a trip to Addo Elephant Park, a national park about an hour outside of Port Elizabeth. We were pleasantly surprised that is was National Parks Week, so our admission into Addo was free. The original elephant section of the park was proclaimed in 1931, when only 11 elephants remained in the park area. Today, the sanctuary is home to 450+ elephants, cape buffalo, black rhino, a variety of antelope species, as well as the unique flightless dung beetle and a variety of other animals. The 2 videos below are from Addo Elephant Park. Port Elizabeth is known as The Windy City and my camera really picks up the wind, so your volume on your computer may need to be turned down while viewing the video footage. Enjoy!
