We flew from Joburg to Port Elizabeth so that we could begin the famous Garden Route drive and see Addo. Addo Elephant Park was an unbelievable experience that we all had. Addo has one of the largest concentrations of elephant populations on planet earth and it is spectacular to see the antics of the elephants in their daily lives. We did a self-drive safari again because then we can control what we do and what we see not to mention how much less expensive it is. We saw lone bulls and whole herds of elephants. The largest being over 50 and it is intimidating when they are all moving towards you as a group, thank goodness for the gas acceleration on the car. We were driving along and we came across a herd of 20 -30 moving across the road so we just stopped and watched babies and their moms meander across the road with only one care and that is the constant predator watch to protect their young. Darren got me so close to the one that came up my side of the car that I just gasped and held my breath as he walked up the side of the car to the front and looked at us and kept walking.
