Gorah elephant camp is a private concession in the Addo National Park. It is based upon a historic lodge built by a farming family in 1856, together with 11 guest “tents” (of the luxury variety !). Neither the lodge nor the tents are fenced and animals are free to wander around the property, including the watering hole in front of the lodge. After dark you need to be escorted from the lodge to your tent to ensure your safety; just before we arrived five lions had been seen just outside our tent !
Game drives take place twice daily with a maximum of six people per vehicle with a very knowledgeable ranger. We were fortunate to have four of our seven drives on our own with ranger J.J..
Between drives the main activities are eating and dinking and watching the watering hole; no TV/radio and only limited WiFi. The camp has limited electricity provided by solar. During our stay we saw elephants, lions, mongooses, warthogs, buffaloes, zebras (crossing the road !), antelope and black rhino, together with numerous bird species.
