Experience Details

Arrive at Main Camp and settle into your RV pitch. Prepare meals in your camp kitchen or braai area. During the day, take your own loops through the park — early morning and late afternoon offer the best light and animal activity. Stop at waterholes and view from the comfort of your RV or from hides where available.

The SANParks restaurant overlooking a waterhole gives you dinner with a view. After dark, use floodlit lookout spots or the underground hide for animal sightings. Nights are quiet; wake early to dawn calls and the unique rhythm of the bush.

Plan for 2–3 full days in Addo. Use the extra time to explore different subregions of the park — the dense thicket to the north, the more open plains in the east — and soak up both safari and campsite life.

A unique feature is the waterhole lookout point, floodlit at night, within the camp as well as the underground hide, allowing close encounters with wildlife at the waterhole. The evenings are punctuated with the calls of lion, spotted hyena and jackal while francolin and bokmakierie herald each dawn.
