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.

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

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.

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.

ok stay
Gorah is a nice camp. it's located inside Addo with a waterhole and lots of animals. The management of the camp is not flexible as they were not able to organize a bush walk for us in three days. All the time only excuses. As we skipped a drive it was not possible to get at 7:30 AM an expresso as the machine has to warm up for 30 minutes. Food is ok but nothing special. The venison was just eatable. The camp is also charging extra for a glass of wine during dinner. Don't stay more than two days as drives are repeating. We had a really good guide and enjoyed the drives. Don't stay in tent 5 as it's very noisy at certain times. Lots of cars are moving around.Value for money is not there however we enjoyed very much the stay at Gorah.

Situé au milieu de la savane devant un point d'eau très fréquenté. Accueil chaleureux, zones communes et terrasses décorées avec goût électricité limitée et dans une ambiance "Out of Africa". La chambre/tente est magnifique, très spacieuse avec une vue à couper le souffle sur la savane. Les repas et les en-cas sont copieux, variés et raffinés malgré l'isolement extrême. Produits locaux mis en évidence. Le service est impeccable, le personnel est très attentionné et disponible. Avec Ray notre ranger nous avons pu découvrir la savane, ses animaux de toutes tailles et leurs traces. Nous avons eu les explications précieuses d'un passionné amoureux de la nature. Inoubliable. Le peu de chambres limite les véhicules ce qui permet un parcours au calme et une grande tranquillité pour les animaux.

Wunderschönen, intime Anlage mitten im National Park. Die Zelte als auch das Haupthaus sind stilvoll und komfortabel eingerichtet. Das Essen abwechlungsreich und geschmacklich sehr gut. Das Personal freundlich und zuvorkommend. Es gibt keinen Wünsche die nicht erfüllt werden. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich die Guides. Habe noch nie eine Safari mit soviel Fachwissen und Passion für die Flora und Fauna erlebt

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.
