Gorah Elephant Camp

luxury tented camp

Gorah is Addo's only private concession, a luxury tented camp built around a historic manor house overlooking a waterhole, styled to evoke an early-1900s-era safari. It sits in an area described by sources as having the densest elephant population on earth. Children are not allowed, and pets are not permitted.

What sets it apart

The only privately run camp inside Addo itself, rather than adjacent to it.

Who it suits

Travellers wanting a private, adults-only camp inside the park rather than a SANParks rest camp or a lodge outside the boundary.

About the photographs

The pictures on this page are stock photographs chosen to suggest the kind of setting this property is in. They are not photographs of this property, and we cannot verify exactly where any of them was taken — a stock library records the photographer, not the place. We use them rather than borrow the property's own marketing images, which would imply we had stayed there. For pictures of the actual rooms, see the property's own site.
