Gorah Elephant Camp

Gorah sits on the only private concession within Addo Elephant National Park, a vast, malaria-free reserve in South Africa’s Eastern Cape. Wildlife moves freely across the park’s varied habitats, and a permanent waterhole in front of the historic Manor House attracts regular elephant, buffalo, and plains game sightings throughout the day. The camp is typically reached via Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) Airport with a scenic drive of roughly 40–60 minutes, making it easy to pair with Garden Route and Cape Town itineraries.

Eleven spacious, canvas-clad tented suites deliver classic safari romance with polished hardwoods, fine linens, and private decks angled toward the surrounding plains. Each suite includes an en-suite bathroom, mosquito nets, heating/cooling, and thoughtful comforts that balance luxury with an authentic, under-canvas ambience. Configurations suit couples or small families seeking privacy and a refined base inside the national park.

The gracious Manor House anchors daily life at Gorah with lounges, a bar, and broad verandas facing the waterhole. Breakfast and lunch are served al fresco when weather allows; candlelit dinners rotate between elegant indoor dining and the atmospheric open-air boma. Between drives, unwind at the swimming pool, browse the small library, or watch passing wildlife from the shaded viewing deck. Wi-Fi is generally available in main areas.
