Why go
Why visit this place?
The estuary makes the lower-river and coastal landscape around Addo's southern gateway visible, with birdlife and water rather than a second big-game stop.
When you arrive
What to expect
River banks, tidal water, broad dune views, changing wind and weather, and opportunities to watch birds along the lower river.
Local knowledge
Local tip
