Travellers planning a visit to Addo Elephant National Park later this year should note that Nyathi Rest Camp will temporarily close for renovations from September 2026. According to South African National Parks (SANParks), the refurbishment programme is expected to take approximately six months, during which no accommodation bookings will be accepted.
Nyathi Rest Camp is one of Addo Elephant National Park's newest and most exclusive accommodation options. Located in the park's main game-viewing area, the camp features spacious self-catering family units and offers direct access to the surrounding wilderness, making it a popular choice for travellers seeking comfort, privacy and excellent wildlife viewing. Its elevated setting, modern design and proximity to the park's famous elephant herds have made it a favourite base for families and self-drive visitors alike.
If you're planning to visit Addo Elephant National Park during the renovation period, you'll still have plenty of accommodation choices within the national park, including Main Rest Camp, Spekboom Tented Camp and other SANParks facilities. Travellers are encouraged to book these alternatives well in advance, as demand may increase while Nyathi Rest Camp is unavailable.
The temporary closure forms part of SANParks' ongoing investment in visitor facilities. Once the renovations are complete, guests can look forward to an even better experience at one of South Africa's premier safari destinations.
