Questions about Gorah
Is this a tented camp or a manor house?
Both, in effect. Gorah is a luxurious tented camp gathered around a gracious colonial manor house that overlooks a waterhole in the heart of Addo. Meals and gathering happen in the manor, while you sleep under canvas, which is what gives the place its particular period character.
How close does the game come?
Close enough to watch from the veranda. The manor looks over a waterhole busy with game, and a herd of elephant strolling past while you sit on the terrace is a regular occurrence rather than a rarity. Each tent also has a private deck with panoramic views across the savannah plains.
What are the tents like inside?
Spacious, and styled to recall the golden era of safari in the early 1900s. Each has an en-suite bathroom with shower and an interior relaxation area as well as the deck. Rates are not published online at present, though the page lists a from figure of US$662 per person per night, so please ask us for a quote.
