Following the release of Nelson Mandela the end of apartheid and the new Government in 1994 tourist began to flock to South Africa. This justified the funding of major projects to expand the park and to introduce back into the area the animals that were wiped out in the last century. Lions were released into Addo National Park in Oct 2003 and we are anxiously waiting for the first lion cubs to be born in the Addo since 1845. An absence of 160 years.
