South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced that Addo Main Camp in the Addo Elephant National Park will experience a planned electricity outage from 06:00 to 18:00 on Tuesday, 18 November 2025. The camp’s generator will also be offline during this period, meaning that electricity-dependent facilities - including the fuel station - will not be available. SANParks advises all visitors to plan ahead and make necessary arrangements for meals, charging devices, and refueling.
Nearest fuel options:
- Inside the Park: The Addo Main Camp petrol station is the only one inside Addo Elephant National Park
- Outside the Park: The closest refueling options are in the village of Addo, about 13 km from Addo Main Camp, and along the R342 road near the park entrance (TotalEnergies station). Visitors are encouraged to fill up before entering Addo Elephant National Park or plan alternative refueling stops.
