Addo Elephant National Park: SANPArks to close the Darlington Dam Fisherman’s Camp for any activitie
South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced the closure of the Darlington Dam Fisherman’s Camp in Addo Elephant National Park in the Eastern Cape. Effective 09 January 2023, the camp will be closed for any activities (fishing and/or camping). This is in line with the minimum standard requirement for tourism (of there being functional toilets on site) in Addo Elephant National Park which could not be maintained after the toilets that were provided were continuously vandalised over time.
SANParks further announced that groups wanting to host fishing competitions/league events in the interim are advised that they will only be able to do so once they have successfully applied for an event permit through the official channels and if they acknowledge that they will supply their own portable toilets for the duration of their event.
The matter will be given attention in the meantime to find a more suitable, lasting solutionn.
