Addo Elephant National Park Camps

Addo may be one of South Africa’s flagship parks, but its camps are surprisingly small - which explains why they fill up fast, even in low season. Most offer just a handful of units, giving each one a more intimate feel.

Check the gate and reception hours before you travel. Main Gate and Matyholweni have different closing times.

Main Rest Camp

The largest camp in Addo, offering everything from chalets and rondavels to forest cabins, safari tents, and campsites. It also has a restaurant, shop, and game viewing hide.

Matyholweni & Nyathi Camps

These quieter, more upmarket options provide a more exclusive experience. Matyholweni, near the southern gate, has a handful of simple cottages, while Nyathi offers 11 spacious units in a private section of the park.

Spekboom & Narina Bush Camps

For those seeking a more rustic and remote experience, these camps are perfect. Spekboom has 5 tents hidden in thick thicket, and Narina offers 4 dome tents in the Zuurberg Mountains - both are off-grid and ideal for nature lovers.

Kabouga Cottage

Standing alone in the Kabouga section near Kirkwood, this cottage is perfect for families or small groups looking for a private stay.

More information about the camps and the booking process is available on the official SANParks website.
