South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced a planned electricity shutdown at Addo Elephant National Park's Main Camp on 06 May 2025, from 08:00 to 17:00. The temporary power outage is necessary to connect the park's newly built family accommodation units to the electrical grid.
The power interruption will affect all accommodation units, the administration offices, reception, restaurant, and shop at the Main Camp.
While SANParks is making arrangements to ensure a smooth check-in process at reception, visitors are kindly asked to be patient with staff during this essential upgrade.
Located in South Africa's Eastern Cape, Addo Elephant National Park
is renowned for its thriving elephant population and diverse wildlife.
Established in 1931 to protect the region’s last remaining elephants,
the park has successfully grown their numbers from just 11 to over 600.
Many of Addo's elephants are naturally tuskless, a genetic trait linked to past hunting pressures.
Beyond elephants, Addo Elephant National Park
is home to the Big Five - lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and
buffalo - as well as various marine species, making it one of South Africa's most diverse and unique conservation areas.
