Gorah Elephant Camp

The Addo Elephant National Park is one of the oldest and best-established parks within South Africa. The Eastern Cape and Addo region have all the major eco-systems within South Africa and is therefore host to the greatest diversity of fauna and flora in the country.

Gorah, the first private concession in a National Park in the Cape, is a 5 000 ha malaria-free sanctuary set in the heart of the Addo Elephant National Park, home to the densest elephant population on earth. The gracious main house, built in 1856, has been immaculately restored and period furnished, recalling the opulence and romance of noble safari. Lazy colonial verandahs spill out onto the African plains, and luxury tented suites with thatched canopies, comfy king size beds and private terraces perch over the panoramic landscape – personalised, warm and unobtrusive service, with meticulous attention to detail, is the hallmark of Gorah.

Together with the thrill of close up elephant encounters, arguably the best in South Africa, you can see Black Rhino, the unique Cape Buffalo herds, numerous antelope species, a wealth of bird life and Addo’s endangered flightless dung beetle.

With superb boma and candle-lit dining, guided bush walks, horseback rides and open vehicle drives, this new and exciting game experience perfectly complements your Garden Route adventure. Gorah is an easy 40-minute drive from Port Elizabeth Airport.
