The Gorah Elephant Park is the first private concession in the Addo Elephant National Park, situated along the Garden Route in South Africa’s Eastern Cape. This premier lodge is in malaria-free territory and the National Park has all the Big Five and is home to the densest elephant population on the planet. There is no electricity at Gorah so all lighting is rather romantically provided with candles and lanterns!

The romantic atmosphere of the eleven spacious and luxurious tented suites recalls the golden era of safari in the early 1900s but has all the comfort and excellence associated with Africa's finest game lodges. There is an excellent outdoor terrace which opens up onto a teeming waterhole - elephant, buffalo, warthog, antelope and even lion are regular visitors! There is a fenced swimming pool area with a wonderful wooden deck and outdoor boma where guests can enjoy a traditional African barbeque under the stars.

Great game viewing from the terrace!

The Gorah experience perfectly compliments your Garden Route adventure and is close to the coast and the many other attractions that the Eastern Cape has to offer. And in addition, children are well-catered for at camp. Whether taking in the majesty of elephant herds or lions gathering around the waterhole, the Gorah experience is unique and awe-inspiring. With arguably the best elephant viewing in South Africa, Addo is also home to the Big Five, numerous antelope species and a wealth of birdlife. Explore the bush with experienced rangers, in open vehicles, on foot or horseback, or simply relax at the pool and soak up some African sun. The choice is all yours!
