About this place
Nyathi is the most secluded and exclusive rest camp in Addo Elephant National Park, set at the foot of the Zuurberg mountains in the Eastern Cape, around 12km from the main camp. Built on the banks of a floodplain, its units are raised on stilts with wide glass panels that frame the surrounding hills and bush from the bedrooms, lounges and even some of the bathrooms.
The camp has just eleven units, their domed, thatched architecture and spekboom-inspired interiors echoing the landscape and culture of the region. A small waterhole within the fenced camp can be reached on foot and draws a steady stream of game and birds, ideal for relaxed viewing without leaving your base.
Nyathi falls within Addo's Big Five country, so drives through the section may turn up elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo and the park's famous flightless dung beetle, which has right of way on the roads. Kudu, warthog and baboon are common along the seasonal river below the camp.
