Gorah Elephant Camp

Welcome to Gorah Elephant Camp, where five-star luxury meets the untamed beauty of the African bush. As the only private concession situated in the very heart of the world-renowned Addo Elephant National Park, we offer an exclusive safari experience that is both intimate and unforgettable. Prepare to be immersed in a landscape that is home to the densest population of elephants on earth, all while enjoying unparalleled comfort and service.

The camp itself is a masterpiece of elegant safari design, featuring luxurious tented suites that blend seamlessly with the natural environment. Each suite is a private sanctuary, offering:

• Spacious interiors with classic colonial-style décor and en-suite bathrooms

The main manor house, a restored historical homestead, serves as the central hub for gourmet dining and socialising, featuring a welcoming lounge, a well-stocked bar, and a sparkling swimming pool.

The location of Gorah Elephant Camp is its most compelling feature. Nestled within the Addo Elephant National Park in the Eastern Cape, your accommodation is also your game reserve. This privileged position grants you direct and immediate access to one of South Africa’s premier conservation areas. The park is easily accessible, located approximately a one-hour drive from Port Elizabeth, making your transition from city to wilderness seamless. This unique setting is perfect for leisure travellers, honeymooners, and families seeking an authentic and thrilling wildlife encounter.

Your days at Gorah will be defined by exceptional wildlife experiences. Expert guides will lead you on thrilling twice-daily game drives in open 4×4 vehicles, bringing you face-to-face with the iconic Big Seven—including the great white shark and southern right whale in the expanded marine section of the park. Between drives, you can watch a constant parade of animals, including lions, buffalo, and myriad bird species, from the comfort of the camp as they visit the nearby waterhole. Evenings are capped with sumptuous, multi-course dinners under the vast, star-filled African sky.
