Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa's Eastern Cape offers spectacular hiking opportunities, from short scenic walks to more challenging trails through lush landscapes and rugged terrain. Located within the Greater Addo area, the Zuurberg section is a favorite for nature lovers and hikers seeking a more tranquil experience away from the main game viewing routes.
However, South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced that due to recent heavy rainfall in the area, both the Cycad Trail (1-hour hike) and the Doringnek Trail (5-hour hike) in the Zuurberg section of Addo Elephant National Park are temporarily closed. The main entrance gate to this section will also remain closed. The closures are expected to continue until at least Wednesday afternoon, 23 April 2025, while conditions are assessed and trails are deemed safe for visitors.
