Honeymoon Safari
What can we say this place took our breathe away! Such a beautiful setting with the accommodation set right amongst the natural surroundings of how these animals should be seen. The staff again like at Tsala in Plettenberg were amazing and can’t do enough to help you during your stay and after too. The guides are extremely knowledgable and welcome all questions and make you feel very comfortable and at ease during the game drives. For anybody wanting a unique safari experience with game animals in their natural habitat this is the place to visit.

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.

A gracious, magical experience that takes one back to living in the 1800’s.

This is a one of a kind experience that is simply incredible. The main lodge is historic built in 1828 with a beautiful back deck overlooking a watering hole that animals come to day and night. You can’t get closer than this. Sleeping accommodations in wonderful tents with king bed and attached bathroom. Private garden and swimming pool near lodge. Price includes lunch, high tea, dinner and breakfast and all fantastic on menus designed for you, as well as 2x 3 hr rides to see wildlife, which includes rhino, buffalo, lions and elephants. This is a magical experience and you will be in awe. Service and staff truly wonderful.

Magical
This place is magical!! The main house was built in 1823 and some of the furniture is from the same era with amazing carvings. The tent we stayed in is spacious with everything you need. Comfortable bed and most amazing are the animals hanging outside your room. The staff makes you feel like royalty. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Amazing. Staff couldn’t be better. Guides were terrific. Those looking for a zoo where lots of animals are around every corner will be disappointed. However there are plenty to see and it’s possible to get very close to some. Magical experience

Excellent Safara Accomoodatin in PE area
It was an awesome experience to finish our holiday in South Africa at Gorah. Sleeping in luxury tents in the wild was something that me and my family will never forget. Accommodation was fantastic, service was out of this world, the staff were so friendly and helpful. Gorah may be a little more expensive than other places, however the experience is totally worth it. Look forward to visiting again.

Worth your money, really.
Where should I begin, everything was amazing. From the game to the service, my mom and I were amazed by the thorough consideration and service there. You are ACTUALLY taken care of very well there. The tent was amazing. Even though we didn't get much sleep from the animals chatting at night and lion soaring 6km away, but hey that was what we went for and love it! They also planned 2 games for you morning and evening. It was such a fantastic experience!

Elephants came up to the verandah
An almost flawless establishment. Eleven thatched permanent tents perched above an authentic old farmstead, now exquisitely restored with atmospheric old prints, lanterns, rugs. Zebra, hartebeest, ostriches came down from the rolling hills to the waterhole beneath the verandah--where extraordinary food was served throughout the day. A hearty breakfast after the morning drive; a light lunch of homemade delicacies and a rainbow of fruit; high tea with scones. Dinner was served on solid mahogany tables in a warren of rooms lit entirely by candles. The beds were huge, with comforting hot water bottles; his-and-hers basins in a well-equipped bathroom to the rear of the tents; everything spotless. A simple but sophisticated update of the safaris of yesteryear with every need catered for. The drives were run by friendly and sympathetic guides with boundless knowledge of the park and respect for all the creatures we met. I cannot recommend Gorah Elephant Camp highly enough.

Uniquely Memorable Experience
From the time we first arrived at Gorah, we knew this would be an unforgettable experience, and were not disappointed. The lodge, tent, locale, staff, cuisine and service were all first rate. That is to say nothing of the experience at the Gorah Camp, where your neighbors are native elephants and wild animals, and the twice-a-day safaris, with interesting ‘ranger’ guides such as Devon, who was so knowledgeable and personable. Making friends with the other visitors as well added to overall experience. The many photos we took will make this adventure a lasting experience.
