About this place
Addo Rest Camp is the main camp and hub of the Addo Elephant National Park, set in the dense Albany thicket of the Eastern Cape where the park first set out to protect the region's last wild elephants. Most of the park's activity centres here, and a floodlit waterhole, viewed from a lookout platform and an underground hide, draws elephant and other game in for a drink through the day and into the night.
The camp is well equipped for an extended stay. There is an a la carte restaurant, a shop stocking curios, snacks and basic supplies, a fuel station and a swimming pool near the chalets. A shaded picnic area overlooks the camp waterhole, and the SASOL Red Bishop bird hide looks out over a small wetland.
The PPC Discovery Trail is accessible to all, including visitors with limited mobility, and the surrounding game area is best known for its large and easily seen elephant herds.
