Overview
About Gorah Elephant Camp
Gorah Elephant Camp centres on a manor house and waterhole inside a private concession in Addo Elephant National Park. Its 11 tented suites sit beneath thatched canopies, each with a private deck, a king-size bed and an en-suite shower. Elephants visiting the waterhole give the shared verandahs and viewing deck a clear purpose between time out in the park. A swimming pool and a lounge with a library offer quieter places to unwind. The standard stay includes breakfast, lunch and dinner, with road access through Matyholweni Gate from the Gqeberha direction.
“A strong choice for travellers who want a tented safari with room to unwind: private decks, a pool and a manor-house waterhole keep the setting central to the stay.”
