Make a stopover on the Garden Route and escape on a bush safari amongst the Big Five and hundreds of elephants at the premier lodge of the Gorah Elephant Camp.

Restored to its nineteenth century colonial splendour and period furnished, the main house of Gorah Elephant Camp reflects a noble opulence and meticulous service and attention to detail. The romantic atmosphere of the eleven spacious and luxurious tented suites, recalls the golden era of safari in the early 1900s, yet with the comfort and excellence associated with Africa's finest game lodges. Each luxury tent has an en-suite bathroom, an interior relaxation area and a private deck offering panoramic views across the endless savannah plains. Other facilities include solar-powered lights, ceiling fans and in-house communication between the tents and the Main House. You can relax in the boma area with its beautiful rock swimming pool and sun-drenched decks, at the fireplaces in the comfortable lounges, or in the cosy library. Dining is by candlelight in the elegant dining room, or on the verandas overlooking the waterhole. You can also experience the African tradition of cooking and eating under the stars in the outdoor boma. Children from eight years are catered for, as are small conferences and bush weddings.

Gorah Elephant Camp is located on the first private concession in a malaria-free National Park, namely: Addo Elephant Park, home to the densest elephant population on earth. It's not far from Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape, and the famous Garden Route. With arguably the best elephant viewing in South Africa, Addo is also the domain of the Cape Buffalo, Black Rhino, numerous antelope species and a wealth of birdlife.
