Gorah Elephant Camp

Addo Elephant National Park

A five-star tented camp on a 5,000-hectare private concession in the heart of Addo Elephant National Park, with candlelit dinners in the outdoor boma and winter fires in the lounge. The concession has the densest elephant population on Earth: more than 450 elephants regularly visit the waterhole, often a few metres from your veranda. The Big Five and plains game are found here too, along with over 400 bird species, including martial eagles and secretary birds, and the rare flightless dung beetle.
