Lunch options at Addo Elephant Park are straightforward and satisfying. The park’s main picnic areas double as perfect spots for traditional South African braais (barbecues), where you can eat while watching wildlife roam nearby. Two standout experiences caught my attention: the Game Drive tour’s picnic-style lunch delivers an authentic outdoor meal, while the Full-Day Safari includes a more substantial lunch with expert commentary about the surrounding wildlife.
I especially love the Game Drive tour because it combines good food with prime wildlife viewing – you’ll often spot elephants and other animals while enjoying your meal. The Full-Day Safari is my top pick for travelers wanting a more complete experience with both dining and expert guidance.
Let’s explore the best safari and lunch combinations available at Addo.
