Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa

Gorah Elephant Camp

We have not had the chance to visit this camp yet but have heard good things about it.  — Mango's view

The first private concession in a National Park is a premier lodge set in the heart of the malaria free, Big 5 Addo Elephant National Park, home to the densest elephant population on earth.

The Gorah House - restored to its 19th century colonial splendor and period furnished, the main house reflects a noble opulence and delivers the meticulous service and attention to detail that characterizes Hunter's properties.

At the Gorah Elephant Camp, explore the bush with experienced rangers in open vehicles, on foot or horseback, or simply relax by the pool till the animals begin stirring at dusk. Gorah is close to the coast and the many other attractions of the Eastern Cape. Children are well catered to, as are mini conferences and bush weddings.

The romantic atmosphere of the 11 spacious and luxurious tented suites, recalls the golden era of safari in the early 1900's; yet with the comfort and excellence associated with Africa's finest game lodges.

Guests can relax in the boma area with its beautiful rock swimming pool and sun drenched decks. Experience the African tradition of cooking and eating under the stars. Dining is by candlelight in the elegant dining room, or on its lazy verandas overlooking the waterhole. The sounds of the bush create a magical air of peace and tranquility, broken only by the splashing of water as the animals arrive to drink under the cover of darkness.

Whether experiencing the majesty of elephant herds gathering by the waterhole, or encounters at matchlessly close range, the Gorah experience is totally unique and perfectly complements your Garden Route Adventure. With arguably the best elephant viewing in South Africa, Addo is also the domain of the Big 5, numerous antelope species and a wealth of birdlife.
