Visit the big 5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Addo National Park is a great place to enjoy South Africa\u2019s vibrant ecosystem in its natural setup. While the park\u2019s main attraction is the African Elephant, park goers will have a chance to meet the other members of the big five, namely the Black Rhino, the African Cape Buffalo, the Leopard, and of course the king, the African Lion. People who visit the park may have the option to go canoeing across the Sunday\u2019s River. The admission fee is relatively cheap for the experience you\u2019ll be getting.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2360428252\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"IMG_0783\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0783.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0783.png 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0783.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/IMG_0783.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:684\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/News.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:684\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/News.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:200\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/News.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:513\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/News.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:629\/h:420\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/News.jpg 629w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:537\/h:360\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/News.jpg 537w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:640\/h:427\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/News.jpg 640w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:681\/h:455\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/News.jpg 681w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1600\/h:1068\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/News.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Van Stadens flower reserve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For people who are into flowers, or gardening in general, a good place to visit is Van Stadens Flower Reserve.

There is no entrance fee here, and you can visit the traditional Xhosa homestead nearby to help you get to know South Africa\u2019s Xhosa culture better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Lovely sights at Donkin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A great place to see the awesome views of the city is climbing atop the lighthouse in Donkin Reserve. It was built in 1861 and is now over 150 years old. It currently serves as a tourist office. Donkin Reserve is also home to a pyramid-shaped monument, so you not only get to enjoy the beautiful view, you get the chance at some quality photo opportunities, too.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Port Elizabeth has much to offer the family. The city has long been considered the friendliest in South Africa, but it is also the most underrated.
