As the only private concession within Addo National Park, Gorah Elephant Camp provides an exclusive safari experience, coupled with the assurance of being situated in a Malaria-free area.


Renowned for having the highest concentration of elephants in the world, guests have the unique opportunity to witness these magnificent creatures up close in their natural habitat.

The lodge’s expansive veranda overlooks a waterhole, frequented by elephants, allowing guests to observe them without even leaving the comfort of the lodge.

Additionally, thrilling game drives and guided walks offer the chance to spot the Big 5. As a special addition to the wildlife encounters, Gorah Elephant Camp now offers the opportunity to meet, watch, observe, and experience the habituated Gorah meerkat family.

Dining here is a truly memorable experience, whether in the opulent Manor House or under the starlit sky at the Boma.

Returning from an evening game drive, guests are greeted by the enchanting glow of fire and twinkling candlelight, creating an unbeatable ambiance.

Additionally, the camp offers guests a safari experience that transports them back in time, combining old-world glamour with modern comforts.

The luxury tents provide a five-star experience while immersing guests in the serenity and vastness of an authentic African bush escape.

For convenience, guests have the option to self-drive to the lodge or fly into Port Elizabeth airport, which offers daily flights. This makes it an easily accessible destination for locals seeking an unforgettable escape.

For those seeking to combine the best of both worlds, the sister properties of Tsala Treetop Lodge and Hunter’s Country House along the Garden Route offer a perfect complement to the Gorah experience. The hotel team can arrange seamless transfers between these locations.
