Addo Elephant National Park Facts and Figures
www.MyAddo.co.za: Facts and figures excerpted from the Addo Elephant National Park's Report on the April – June period:
* Two new black rhino calves were recorded: one on a camera trap and one during an aerial census
* The Coast Care programme removed 2584kg of waste from the Sundays beach area
* 1 585 children and 108 adults participated in environmental education programmes in the Park
* The unit occupancy in Addo rest camp rose (compared to last year) by 1.1% to 84.8% while
* Matyholweni's occupancy rose by 5.6% to 47.3%. Camping occupancy rose by 5.6%
* The use of guided game drives (seats sold) rose by 6.7% compared to the same period last year
* There were 28 871 visitors to the Park from April to June, representing a drop of 4.6% compared to the same period in 2007. This is the result of the Easter weekend – a very popular holiday time falling in March (whereas it was in April last year) as well as the effect of an increase in fuel costs
* Only 36 mm of rain was recorded in the Addo section of the Park, compared to the long term, average for April to June of 78.6 mm
* Four of the Park's staff received Long-term Service Awards: 25 years of service for both Ranger Sergeant Melvin Tambo and Field Ranger Gibson Tambo; 25 years for Trade/Admin Clerk Cheryl Momberg and 20 years for Hospitality Manager Dawid Momberg
