This is an incredible place to stay and watch the amazing animals at the waterhole, that visit day, and night. The Elephants sightings are second to none! All the staff are fabulous, and can’t do enough to ensure we had the very best of everything throughout our stay. Thank you Megan Pagel and the team for all your hard work, and the warmest of welcomes. We will definitely be back to see you all. Kevin Farrell was our phenomenal safari guide, and he ensured we got to see and enjoy everything in the conservancy. His knowledge and experience made the trip unforgettable.

This was our 3rd visit to Gorah and the magic is still there. The tented suites are really special and have everything you need and more. The Manor House is a step back in time and nothing is too much trouble - the staff are a credit to the Hunter Hotel group. Thanks to Donald for making our time in the Manor House part of the experience. Game drives explore the vast terrain of the Addo Elephant National Park with comfortable vehicles and Chivan, our ranger was passionate about making sure our experience was extra special. Enjoy the waterhole at the lodge - anything can wander down, including lions 🦁

Wonderful place, attentional to detail was great. In the evening heating would be turned on in the rooms and hot water bags placed in the bed so that when I arrived to the room, the room and bed were toasty. The food provided was top notch. Everything was very clean. The menu with your name and meal preferences was a great touch. Little African poems left on the bed was very sweet.

One of the very best experiences of our lives, so relaxing, you can feel your blood pressure go down ☺️ The hotel/main lodge was unbelievable, lit by candlelight at night and a watering hole just in front where we watched zebras and elephants while we sat enjoying a G&T. Service was excellent from everybody we met. We were even given personalised water bottles from the member of staff on the main gate. The food was the best we had in South Africa and we had some great food but this was a step up. And the same goes for the wine. We were never hungry! Small things like our names being on our menus was amazing and its small touches like this that really makes the experience more memorable. The two Game Drives each day were incredible and we saw every animal we hoped to see. Nice things like blankets & hot water bottles on the jeep when it was chilly were very welcome and on the morning game drive our guide would set up hot drinks and snacks, this was only bettered by the afternoon game drives refreshments being a G&T and more snacks. 🍸 The room (one of 11 Luxury Thatched Tents) was so lovely with a huge attention to detail and amazing service all day, especially the 'turn down' service that often included the little heater being put on for us and a hot water bottle in the bed on the cooler nights. There was a full drinks cabinet in the room with the ice being replenished regularly. With the canvas sides you felt like you were living outside some times. Special mentions go to Kevin who was the most supreme of guides and great bar tender in the afternoon 😀 and his wife Simone, front of house. What a team! And thanks also to Donald. We had the very best time ever thanks to everyone we met at Gorah and we would highly recommend this experience.

Best lodge in Addo
Exceptionally friendly staff and knowledge safari guides. Truly special location as the only private concession in Addo Elephant Park. Stunning views from room and lodge with elephants, zebras and more constantly walking in front of or even through the property.

Unforgettable experience
We stayed at the camp for 2 days. The staff is exceptional and goes out of their way to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you Cheryl and Ashley for making our stay incredible! We will cherish this experience and wonderful memories for the rest of our lives.
The food was amazing and on par with fine dining. As a guest, you are offered options at the mini bar in your tent or the main guest house. The tents are a bit rustic but very comfortable with all the necessary amenities. You are in the middle of nowhere.
If you are planning to drive to the camp yourself, we recommend renting an SUV. One has to drive about 10 miles on a dirt road from the main entrance which can get rough.
While the accommodations are not cheap, as other stated this is one in a lifetime experience worth every penny.
