Fantastic place, fantastic people working here and first class service!
What a 5-star experience you deserve, cleanliness, kindness and friendliness to the fullest, excellent food, excellent location and what a super ranger JJ safari brought us to discover these wonderful places super recommended
Extraordinary place and service. The park is amazing and the lodge is magic. There is a little late right in front of the lodge where the animals go for a drink during the day and at night. We saw a Rhino, Hyena, Elephants, Zebras right next to us. Fantastic!
Beautiful area with lots of wildlife very knowledgeable guides great food and beautiful accommodation
Great reception by the warm and welcoming staff! But Google Maps took me via a very long and difficult route! I bust my bubble!
Dedicated team throughout - Justin, Lunga, Mavis, Lara- in a unbelievable setting. Unforgettable experience. Utterly unique
Fantastic experience. The tent is all luxurious and very large. It is super food. The game drives include the price. The food too. Breakfast, lunch, high tea and dinner. The drinks in the tent too. It is not cheap to stay there but there is a lot included and therefore it is actually not too bad. Super staff. An experience that you should not miss. An experience that you must allow yourself!
Best experience for a first time safari. Beautiful memories made. The wildlife there is magical.
This place u see everyday animals u are very lucky two work there
A fantastic stay with top service. Out of Africa feeling is certain. An unforgettable stay
We were here for honeymoon, this is a fantastic reserve. Thanks to our ranger Gabriel, you realy love nature and take care of it. The elephants drinking on the water near the terasse were amazing.
What a lovely hotel! Great service and accommodation. Once you pass their drive way, you can enjoy the animals walking around in their natural habitat. They have placed a lookout deck in front of the hotel so you can watch the animals drink from the little pond. The safari's are really good as well, the guide explains everything very clear. The lodges are well maintained with a shower and toilet. It is amazing to sleep in the lodge and hear the animal sounds in the evening. I would definitely recommend!
I had the best experience of my life! The food, tents, and game drives were absolutely amazing! All of the rangers and workers were very kind and friendly! Everyone should stay here!
Highly recommended! Unbeatable location, stunning views, awesome game drives, delicious dining and above all - Amazing staff, everyone really made it such a special experience that we will never forget.
Everything was very nice, perfectly organized with a very personalized attention. The safaris were perfect with very attentive guides.
The ultimate in style combined with old world heritage. This is a resort where no effort is spared to make the guests experience only the best in accommodation, food, service and ultimately a wildlife adventure. This is right up there on the top shelf. Coming to Gorah is a great move... one of my best experiences.
Our second visit confirmed that this place is somewhat magic with it's unique location within Addo Elephant Park ,the drama at the borehole repeating itself with ever changing actors, rhino versus lions, lions versus hyenas, elephants and buffalo and zebra and everything else alive demanding it's share of the most precious here, water. All this is enjoyed leasurly from the porch together with most of the fellow guests while sipping your libations. The hosts attention to the guests is unparalleled like the complete luxury of the accommodation. Fritz Teroerde
Great accommodations, incredible views. Our guide showed a family of lionesses and several elephants, including John, the park's most lavish elephant making a 'snack' near the road
A place full of superlatives. 5 star accommodation, highly skiled and professional staff accompany you and game drives terrific fun. JJ was a dedicated and knowledgeable guide and found all the animals. He was a pleasure to share time with and show and teach abiut the area and wildlife. Gorah is a pleasure if you need to escape everyday living of plastic, pavements and traffic lights!
It was an incredible and unforgettable experiencua. Super recommended !!!
There are some experiences in life that truly take your breath away every moment you are there & the Gorah elephant camp was one of those experiences. This is a place of magic, a place where you cannot help but smile every second. It was truly one of the best experiences I have had in my travelling life & I have been to over 90 countries. Truly from the moment that you arrived at the lodge you can feel the history of this place from the photos on the wall to the furniture you are transported back to the first farmers of this region. Waking to the lions roaring in the early morning to the elephants, zebra s & warthogs that visited the lodges watering hole I had to pinch myself sometimes to see if I was dreaming. This place truly makes you question if its real as the experiences you have are so fantastical you believe your dreaming. THE GAME DRIVES This is where I believe Gorah truly excels. I was previously in Kruger & the sheer amount of cars was unbelievable. but here its something totally different, dare I say intimate. That is truly the word that comes to mind, Gorah has its own private area that is only for the guests of the lodge so when I climb aboard the Toyota safari vehicle with my guide Justin & only 4 others in the car it already felt like a more serene experience. On my first drive, I was astonished by the sheer amount of animals here. We could get so close to the animals as they had no fear of us. We seen kudu, zebra, monkeys & elephants so close that you could reach out of the vehicle to touch them it was such an intimate experience to look an elephant in the eye while he decides what his next steps are. On the second drive, we set out in the morning in search of lions as we heard them roaring earlier in the morning. After passing a few monkeys & kudu we happened upon the dominant male lion of the area. It's difficult to describe seeing this majestic king of the jungle in all his glory. I was less than 10 meters from him with zebra in the background he was so calm taking an early morning nap before looking longly into the distance posing for what I have to say are some of now my most treasured photos. ACCOMMODATION Beyond camping, beyond glamping, this is truly the next level of luxury. When you arrive you're greeted by the wonderful staff at the Gorah manor house. this once home of frontier farmers is the hub of the camp. it's like this place has not changed since it was built in the 1800s. From the furniture to the old pictures on the wall it has a true sense of history. Walk onto the veranda & viewing deck where all types of animals from elephants to lions come to drink from the watering hole that is perfectly placed for viewing these amazing creatures up close. The manor house is also the place where all your meals are set from breakfast, lunch, dinner & afternoon tea the quality of the food is without compromise from brai lamb to eggs benedict with smoked salmon the chefs are producing Michelin star quality here. Your Tent; to be totally honest it's more like a fully functioning home than a tent. As you step inside your transported back into the past to an age where the first settlers made their camp but in total luxury. From the huge bed in the centre of the room with high quality linens to the included mini bar complete with a full array of alcoholic beverages you are in need of nothing here they have truly thought about everything from the full bathroom with his & hers sinks to the comfy armchairs that overlook the outside of your tent into the hill beyond. One afternoon as I sat on the veranda of my tent with a glass of champagne a herd of elephants passed in the distance & once again I had to pinch myself to see if I was dreaming. SERVICES It's a full board affair here. All meals, game drives, mini bar & snacks are included in the price.
One of the most unique experiences we've had ever. Everything is taken care of too perfection. Staff is genuinely friendly. Food is good. Tents are luxury hotel rooms which still give you great at experience and comfort at same time. Complimentary minibar was crazy in a good way! Game drives and walks all very good. Hope we ever get to go back :)
I LOVE SOUTH AFRICA...You have to see it to believe it!
Simply fantastic this place. Top service and wonderful staff. The safaris are unique. On the first day already 3 lions in front of our camp
Lions, Elephants and lots more we seen on our trips. With excellent staff and guide. I would recommended Gorah Elephant Camp. We would come back again.
