The coastal section of the Addo Elephant National Park can be found in the vibrant Algoa Bay (named ‘Bay of Lagoons’ by early Portugese explorers). The bay is a magnificent stretch of South African coastline where the warm Indian Ocean invites marine mammals, fish and birds to make their home.
When you’re marvelling at the magnificence of a breaching whale or the streamlined beauty of a dolphin surfing the bow-wave of a safari boat – don’t forget to breathe. These are the memories that will stay with you: the salty tang of sea spray, the warm Eastern Cape sunshine, the vast blue waters of the bay and the excitement of chance encounters with whales, penguins, seals, dolphins, birds and sharks – a true safari on the ocean, with the chance of completing your African Big Seven Bucket List with sightings of the great white shark and southern right whale.
