Nyathi rest camp addo elephant national park
The modern luxury traveller will look far to find self-catering accommodation of this calibre in the bush. With lofty ceilings, an eclectic mix of indigenous style and furnishings, plus a huge open kitchen, this could be your sophisticated home from home.

Thatched roofs appeared through Albany thicket, their sharply defined profiles rising into the azure sky. Inside, traditional Xhosa design married modern luxury, starting with long, slender oryx-horn door handles. The spacious and opulent living area gave way to breathtaking 180-degree views from the balcony.
