Arrival at Gorah Elephant Camp

Your private driver meets you at Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha) airport for the drive of about 1 hour 15 minutes into Addo Elephant National Park and the Gorah concession. Gorah House, the gracious colonial manor at the heart of the camp, welcomes you with lunch on the veranda above the waterhole. Settle into your thatched tented suite, then enjoy high tea before, if you arrive in time, an afternoon game drive in an open safari vehicle. Return after dark for dinner by candlelight in the manor house.

Elephants of the Gorah Concession

Elephants of the Gorah Concession

Rise early for an early-morning game drive in an open safari vehicle across the Gorah concession while the bush is cool and the animals are active. Return for breakfast, then spend a lazy midday on the veranda or the pool deck, watching elephant herds come down to drink at the waterhole in front of the house. After high tea, an afternoon game drive in an open safari vehicle takes you out again in search of lion, buffalo and the rest of Addo's wildlife, with sundowners in the bush, followed by dinner in the boma under the stars.

Day 3

Lion, Buffalo & Black Rhino

Lion, Buffalo & Black Rhino

Another early-morning game drive in an open safari vehicle gives you the best chance of finding lion and black rhino, with coffee stopped in the bush as the sun climbs. Back at Gorah for a late breakfast, the middle of the day is yours: a book from the library, a swim, or a siesta in your suite. In the late afternoon, set off on an afternoon game drive in an open safari vehicle, with sundowners as the light fades, before a farewell dinner served in the manor house or out on the veranda.

Day 4

Morning Drive & Return to Port Elizabeth

Morning Drive & Return to Port Elizabeth

Enjoy a final early-morning game drive in an open safari vehicle through the Gorah concession, one last chance to sit quietly with an elephant herd. Return to Gorah House for breakfast and a last look over the waterhole, then your private driver collects you for the journey back to Port Elizabeth airport, about 1 hour 15 minutes, where your safari ends. Few places let you watch elephants from a colonial veranda, and you will leave with a camera full of them.
