Gorah Elephant Camp lies within a Big 5 malaria-free concession in the heart of the Addo Elephant National Park and was the first private safari camp within a National Park in South Africa. Gorah offers the thrill of close-up elephant encounters, arguably the best in South Africa, as well as big game viewing on morning and afternoon game drives in open vehicles. The gracious main house, built in 1856, has been immaculately restored and furnished in colonial style, recalling the opulence and romance of the classic 1920's safari. Deep, cool verandas, where guests eat and relax, spill out onto the wide open African plains. The ten luxurious tented suites have thatched canopies, king size beds and private terraces with bushveld views.

As well as elephants you may also see black rhino, lion, unique Cape buffalo herds, numerous antelope species and of course, Addo's endangered flightless dung beetle. An optional day excursion to Addo Elephant Back Safaris and a Walk with the Elephants can be arranged (at an additional cost). Gorah's hallmark is its warm and unobtrusive service and impeccable attention to detail. Superb boma and candlelit dining, guided bush walks, horseback rides and of course basking at the rock swimming pool completes the experience. Gorah is a member of Relais & Chateaux member.
