Gorah Elephant Camp

Gorah Elephant Camp
Addo
The incomparable thrill of quietly observing a passing herd of elephant, lion and general game, while being served tea on the verandah of a stately Colonial manor house is the stuff of dreams and legends - at Gorah it’s an everyday occurrence.
This exclusive safari lodge recaptures the romantic mystique of authentic safari of centuries past - the awesome natural world of Africa merged with colonial nostalgia and modern sophistication to deliver an unforgettably unique 5 star adventure.
Gorah is a member of Relais & Chateaux.Originally built in 1856, the Gorah House is a National Monument, fully restored to reflect the grace and glory of those times with elegant period furnishings instilling an ambience of comfort and opulence. Ensconced in armchairs around the original fireplaces of welcoming, comfy lounges, stories of the day’s adventures unfold.
For those wishing to discover more about the region, there is a small library with a selection of reference books available.The comings and goings of wildlife around the waterhole situated in front of the main verandah are a constant source of fascination. The natural rock swimming pool is the perfect place to beat the African heat, otherwise simply relax on the sun decks or in the shade of Gorah House’s porches and patios.Delicious and lavish gourmet cuisine is served either in the elegant, softly lit dining rooms of the Main House or on the old-style verandah overlooking the waterhole or, weather permitting, under the stars in the open boma surrounded by the sounds of the African bush.
Gorah Elephant Camp rates includes Accommodation, All Meals and teas, 2 Game Drives per day, Non-Alcoholic beverages and all beverages on Game Drives.
Park entrance fees, Levies and Vat also included.
Located in the heart of the Big 5 Addo Elephant National Park in the malaria-free Eastern Cape, Gorah was the first private concession ever awarded in a South African National Park.
Near the Zuurberg mountain range in the dense, indigenous bushveld of the Sunday’s River Valley, the 14,000 hectare fenced park was proclaimed in 1931 to preserve the last remaining survivors of the once large herds of elephant that roamed the Eastern Cape.
Hunted almost to extinction, these herds have gradually flourished and Addo now boasts the highest density of elephant on earth. It is also home to other big game such as lion, black rhino, buffalo and leopard, as well as numerous species of antelope and small game. For birding enthusiasts, Addo has 320 recorded bird species.

A Game Drive with an experienced guide is scheduled for 16h30. Before sitting down to dinner between seven-thirty and eight, enjoy a quiet pre-dinner drink on the verandah of Gorah House while soaking in the sights, smells and sounds of the African bush at twilight. You’re on African time - there is no rush.
