Addo Elephant Park - Addo camp
In Addo you can stay at one restcamp only, and that is the restcamp at the entrance to the park. You can book your stay in Addo through the SANParkswebsite at http://www.sanparks.org/parks/addo/.
Facilities you can expect in the camp
In the restcamp you'll find a shop, a restaurant and a petrol station. In the shop you'll be able to buy everything you need for preparing dinner. You can also eat at the restaurant, but don't forget to make reservations. You can make reservations for 6, 7 or 8pm. I recommed eating at 8pm because then you don't have to rush your dinner. If you eat at 6 or 7pm you are more or less expected to finish dinner in an hour. Food at the restaurant is good, and prices are reasonable. About 60 meters from the restaurant there is a floodlit waterhole. Staff at the restaurant will let you know if there are animals at the waterhole. While we were in Addo we saw elephants and a buffel at the waterhole.
Huts and cottages
When you stay in a hut or cottage you'll have a bathroom, toilet, electricity, a fridge and a BBQ. I stayed in a forest hut, and that came with cutlery, coocking utensils and plates. I'm not sure about the cottages, but I guess it will be the same there.
