- Today we are spending some time cruising around Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa.
Addo National Park is the third largest national park in South Africa and one of the best places to see huge herds of elephants. The park has over 600 wild elephants! It is also exclusively home to the flightless dung beetle, which we enjoyed watching way more than expected. There are numerous accommodations in the surrounding area and we were very content staying at Kudu Ridge Game Lodge.
We are so excited to be sharing this South African travel series and we hope that you guys are enjoying watching it! If you liked this video, give it a 'thumbs up' and leave us a comment down below! It helps our channel grow and we appreciate it 💜

So beautiful family of you and beautiful family of Elephants love from india Pink city ali baba hostel family ❤❤
Hi the dung beetle scores so many points because of the importance it plays to the environment it is endangered aswell. The entire idea is to make sure visitors to the park always look out for them and in this way more less dung beetles wil be driven over. Great video
You folks really have found your groove with your videos. My wife and I love your content. Keep em coming!
Thanks so much Joe 👊 Really appreciate your kind words! We can hopefully get them coming 🍻
Wow!! Stunning shots! Thanks for sharing your adventure travels! When you bravely captured that final scene of the huge elephant walking towards your small car - those tusks and the wild grunts - I think we were all terrified!
Thanks so much Jack 👊 Haha it was a very scary but exciting moment 😅 Those elephants are huge! Glad you enjoyed the video!
I’ll second that!!
Looks like You both were getting into some S.Africa...☺️lol. Love the elephants. Great video.
Be Safe.

It's so nice to see all these animals enjoying their natural habitat, what a privilege! ☺️... Man, these Elephants come so close, it must be terrifying, they're massive! Haha.. Great video! 😎😎
Yes we felt super lucky getting to see them so close! It was scary but totally worth it! Thanks for the constant support homie 👊
Wow guys Sammy and Tommy big beautiful video after Long time I'm really enjoying your beautiful video like usual thanks❤ Sammy for this amazing big video
Thank you Sajve 💜 Really glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the support!

You guys have been out in the World for a while now, Godspeed! love your channel.
Yes we had such great travels! That’s awesome to hear you have been enjoying our channel ☺️ Thank you for watching!
I recently went there when I was on holiday. My family come from South Africa. All the birds (especially the drongos XD) wanted to fly to us when we were preparing food. A sunbird flew onto my sister when she was eating! I guess they have been used to people because people might have fed them before; although you're not supposed to.
Hi guys. Love the videos. Keep it up. Nice to see my country and home town of PE from an outsider perspective. We often pop into Addo as we live very close. You were very lucky to spot that green snake. It's a Boomslang and is one of the most venomous snakes in SA. Looked like a small one at least. Lol. Next time you are here drop me a PM and we will show you some hidden Gems that tourists don't get to experience. Keep well and safe. Regards
Hi Matthew 👋 Thank you for the interesting info about the snake. We will definitely be back and make sure we message you before coming. Please send us an email so we have your contact info. We would love to explore more hidden gems on our next trip and always appreciate a locals perspective! Thank you!
super nice, love to see you again guys, best wishes! :)
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 🤗
Nice sharing 👍
Thank you 🤗
Nice video ,guys !👏👏👏
Thank you 🤗💜
AhHa, at 13:45 you learned how to say Addo. Gland you finally heard someone tell you how to say it, LOL.
Hey. What time of year did you visit. Looking at doing self drive in Kruger at the beginning of September. Loved your videos 🌸🌸
You are correct! We went in September and we felt like the weather was perfect! Thank you so much!
Awesome footage again. Just some advice, never put the vehicle in park near elephants. Give them some space and be prepared to drive off. They can charge the car
Thanks for the tip Andrei! We almost learned this the hard way.
Please learn how to pronounce the name of the Park. Addo Elephant park, How did I explain.Ad DOE Elephant park. BTW I have been there 14 trips. Have been charged by elephants and rhino and have it on video. Glad you got to visit once. I actually worked on a hunting ranch there for 5 months.
Sammy do you have your any childhood dream like me please tell me if you can thanks❤🌹 for this this incredible episode
Yes it was to always to travel the world 🌎 and you?
@@SammyandTommy same to me Sammy as you and me childhood dream has to see travel and explore the world as you I hope inshallah my dream Will be coming true one day with the help of Almighty Allah and my hardworking thanks❤🌹 sammy may Allah guide you sammy and Tommy to the straight path Amin
Hello, I wonder if it's worth visiting addo park if you're already planning to stay at marloth park and visit kruger
I would say you could skip it if you’re short on time 👍 I much prefer the other two!
We went to Addo for two days and Kruger for three, plus others but I really liked Addo and so glad that we didn't miss it
Dung beetles in Addo are almost extinct 🙈that’s why people need to be careful not to drive over them!
We saw so many of them but really enjoyed watching them! It's pretty incredible what they can do! Thanks for watching!

Guys. Go to Kenya and/or Tanzania. We preferred it over South Africa.
It's definitely on our list! Thanks for the recommendation 🍻
You haven’t been to all Safari parks in South Africa. Relax all is beautiful in the motherland
@leigh4326 does South Africa have a safari overlooking Mount Kilimanjaro, a volcanic crater or a city skyline??? Noooo....
@@pgbk87 baba have you seen Cape Town?
@leigh4326 yes. #Watamu , and #DianiBeach are WAY better for actual swimming. #SomaBay and #Dahab as well
Nice
Which is the next country? 😁
Thanks Any guesses?
Wonderful video. You guys put together great content! Beautiful video, fun, entertaining, informative…You’ve got it all. Thank you for sharing. We’re hoping to retire in a couple years and slowtravel full time for a few years. Taking lots of notes from your videos. Would love to hear what you pay for the places you stay and for your meals and travels etc. when possible.
Thanks.

Spain! 🧐
Hi Elden and Pam 👋 Thanks for such a sweet comment 🤗 So excited for you guys to retire soon! Thanks for the suggestion we will make sure to include prices in future videos 👍
Sounds amazing but we are headed back to Asia actually!

It’s NOT Ahdo 😂😂😂😂 it’s ADD-O. Like Add-oh 😂😂😂
That doesn't help.... It is not A-Do but pronounce A-dough.
That elephant shot was epic, but after researching this place, I understand why people never recommend it for safari. This park sucks. They don't have giraffes. They don't have wildebeest. They don't have cheetahs. They have almost no rhinos, leopards or hippos. I see that the Cape provinces aren't the best for wildlife. Sanbona is probably the best, but it's extremely pricey. This is the problem with Africa. You can either do a history/culture trip, or a wildlife trip. Not both. Kenya is maybe the only country where it's possible to do both (at least for a reasonable price without having to travel great distances), but Kenya is too underdeveloped and has security issues.
I think the northeast portion of the country can offer both wildlife and history/culture, but that region isn't as scenic as Western Cape. Nah, I still think Western Cape is best, and there's still plenty of reason to visit. They still have some original animals, and at least they have the private reserves, but I just wish some of them would be more affordable and easier to access.
But yeah, I see in general Africa sucks for tourism. If it's not one thing, it's another. I think it's possible to have it all, if you have the finances. One thing I can say is that, it certainly isn't for the budget traveler.
Whatever. Western Cape is still number 1. Screw the wildlife. lol I just wanted to give my mom a genuine safari experience.
Your ignorance and lack of knowledge is showing. The national parks have as policy that everything should be as natural as possible, e.g. no animal species that aren't endemic to the area. That's why you won't find giraffe there. It's not a zoo.
As for the private reserves.. I found the ones in the EC to be very good. Shamwari, Kariega, Pumba, and plenty of others, they are all top notch and provide the wildlife experience you seem to be after. I've lived on Shamwari for a few months and visited pretty much every reserve in the EC and I've had so many incredible wildlife experiences there.
Make Western cape and then fly directly to Kruger, best and cheapest safari-place in the world
You also need to learn about Kudu before you talk about them. Addo is Ad Doe Addo. Cannot believe you did not learn that there. I like Addo smaller then other parks and see more game.
