Addo Elephant National Park is a diverse wildlife conservation park situated close to Port Elizabeth in South Africa and is one of the country's 20 national parks. It currently ranks third in size after Kruger National Park and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

This large-format softcover is a visual celebration of the magnificent and divers wild places found in the 188,000 hectare Greater Addo National Park, stretching from the semi-arid Karoo in the north, over the rugged Zuurberg Mountains, through the Sundays river valley and south to the coast. The biodiversity is exceptional in that 6 of the 7 terrestrial biomes found in South Africa occur here, within striking distance of Cape Town and Durban. However, it is as home to the densest elephant population on earth that the park is best known, and this stunning book offers a stunning insight into the lives of these magnificent animals, as well as into the unique skills of the Van den Bergs.
