Introduction

The incomparable thrill of quietly observing a passing herd of elephant while being served tea on the veranda of a stately Colonial manor house is the stuff of dreams and legends - at Gorah it’s an everyday occurrence. This exclusive safari lodge recaptures the romantic mystique of authentic African safari of centuries past - the awesome natural world of Africa merged with colonial nostalgia and modern sophistication to deliver an unforgettably unique 5 star adventure.

Gorah Elephant Camp - Restored to its 19th century colonial splendour and period furnished the main house, reflects a noble opulence and delivers the meticulous service and attention to detail.  Dining is by candle-light in the elegant dining room, or on its lazy verandas overlooking the waterhole. The sounds of the bush create a magical air of peace and tranquillity, broken only by the splashing of water as the animals arrive to drink under the cover of darkness. Children are well catered for, as are mini conferences and bush weddings. Whether experiencing the majesty of elephant herds gathering by the waterhole, or encounters at matchlessly close range, the Gorah experience is totally unique. And perfectly complements your Garden Route Adventure.
