Bonjour mes amis! Ready for an unforgettable South African adventure? As your expert guide, I'm thrilled to help you plan a fantastic trip to Addo Elephant National Park for two couples during the summer high season. Be prepared for higher prices for flights and accommodation, and expect crowds at the park's attractions, meaning potential for queues. The weather will be hot and humid – think sunshine and beautiful skies, but also be prepared for heat!

Let's talk logistics. Flights to Port Elizabeth (the closest airport) can vary greatly depending on your origin and booking time, but expect to pay anywhere from €800-€1500 per person roundtrip. Accommodation ranges from comfortable guesthouses (€80-€150 per night per couple) to luxurious lodges (€300+ per night per couple). Plan your budget carefully based on your preferences.

Within the park, game drives are a must! These typically cost around €100-€150 per vehicle per drive (suitable for your group of four). Self-drive options are also available, offering more freedom, but remember to book in advance for the best availability. Remember, air-conditioned vehicles are highly recommended due to the heat. Many lodges and guesthouses offer delicious meals; a typical dinner can range from €30-€60 per couple.

Addo's vibrant atmosphere will enchant you! Expect to see many fellow tourists, all excited to spot elephants and other wildlife. You’ll hear the sounds of nature – birdsong, rustling leaves, and maybe even the trumpeting of an elephant. The local people are warm and welcoming, often sharing stories and insights into their culture and the park's history. South African cuisine is fantastic! Expect to savor braais (barbecues) with boerewors (sausage), biltong (dried meat), and delicious local vegetables. Expect to spend around €50-€80 per couple per day on food and drinks outside your accommodation.

The area features unique architectural styles, from traditional farmhouses to more modern lodges. You’ll find many opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking and swimming (if you find a suitable spot!), always aware of safety precautions in the wild. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Find shaded areas for rest during the hottest parts of the day. Enjoy the festivals and events that sometimes happen in peak season! It's also worth noting that traffic can be heavier during the high season, so build in extra travel time to your itinerary.

The local flora includes diverse trees, shrubs, and grasses, while you might spot various animals like baboons, monkeys, and many bird species. Respect the wildlife and keep a safe distance. This will be an unforgettable journey! The overall cost for this trip, considering flights, accommodation (mid-range), activities, food, and incidentals, will be approximately €8000-€12000 for the four of you. This is, of course, a rough estimate and can vary significantly depending on your choices and booking times. Book flights and accommodation well in advance for the best deals.

A bientôt, and have a wonderful trip!
