Addo Elephant National Park Main Camp to experience power outage on 11 June 2026

Visitors staying at Addo Elephant National Park's Main Camp on Thursday, 11 June 2026, should be aware of a temporary electricity outage scheduled for late morning.

South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced that the electricity supply to the entire Main Camp will be switched off from 11:00 for approximately two hours. The interruption is required to connect infrastructure associated with a new spa facility currently under construction within the camp.

Guests visiting Addo Elephant National Park during this period can still enjoy game drives, wildlife viewing and other outdoor activities as normal. However, visitors staying in Main Camp accommodation should plan accordingly, as electrical appliances, charging facilities, lighting and certain guest services may be temporarily unavailable while the work is carried out.

The new spa forms part of ongoing efforts to enhance visitor facilities at Addo Elephant National Park, one of South Africa's premier Big Five destinations and home to more than 600 elephants.

SANParks has apologised for any inconvenience caused and thanked visitors for their understanding while the essential infrastructure work is completed.

Travellers scheduled to stay at Main Camp on 11 June are advised to ensure that electronic devices are charged in advance and to make any necessary arrangements before the outage begins.
