Gorah Elephant Camp

A CLASSIC TRIP Fantastic experience

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.

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.

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.

Unglaublich --＞ absolut zu empfehlen EMpfang, Organisation, Essen, Service war außergewöhnlich und ist jeden cent wert

Ein unglaubliches Erlebnis! Natürlich hat es seinen Preis, aber es ist jeden Rappen wert. Am besten 2 Nächte bleiben. Service, Essen, Erlebnis wirklich unbezahlbar. Wir haben alles gesehen, was wir uns wünschten und wir haben viel gelernt
