However, from experience we know that is is so much more rewarding to observe elephants when we understand something about them - and the more we learn about them, the more fascinating observing them becomes. The aim of this book is to provide visitors to Addo with detailed but easy to understand information on elephants in general and the Addo elephants in particular, and to give tips on how to observe and identify elephants and how to interpret their behaviour. We hope that those who use this book will find that it significantly enhances their enjoyment of their visit to Addo and their time with the elephants."
