Africamps Addo Premium Tents for Couples: Explore and Relax

Africamps Addo Premium Tents officially opened for bookings in August 2025, so if you’re looking for the PERECT romantic getaway in the Eastern Cape, look no further.

The new Africamps Addo Premium Tents sleeps only 2 people

Currently all 19 Africamps Camps have their standard set-up which sleeps up to 4 people. There is a double bed on one side of the tent and a bunk bed on the other side.

The new Africamps Addo Premium Tents are the first of their kind and are PERFECT for couples. This romantic tent has only one king size bed and a more romantic feel.

  • A rope hammock to relax on the hot days or stare up at the stars at night
  • Inside Fireplace for those chilly evenings

Addo Elephant National Park is only a 15 minutes drive away

The whole point of coming out to Addo would be to see the Elephants of course. So, if you can pull yourself away from your romantic getaway, take a drive to the Addo Elephant National Park to and enjoy a self-drive around the park.

There are various waterholes to check out and MANY different routes to drive when you’re there to see The Big 5. That’s right there are Elephants, Lions, Leopards, Black Rhino and Buffalo.

If you head to the park, expect to spend a minimum of 1 hour to see just one waterhole. But make a day of it and see if you can spot all Big 5 animals.

Here are some photo’s that I captured during my self drive around the park:
