My fiancé and I were staying in Cape Town for a few weeks (we are from California) and had a friend recommend Gorah for a safari close enough to CT. We stayed 2 nights after driving the Garden Route and wished we would have had time to stay longer. It was a complete fairy tale! the service was incredible, the food delectible, the game viewing was so wonderful, saw everything except they don't have giraffes. We had up close and personal viewing of elephants and many other critters. At night, we were awoken to the mind boggling sounds of lions roaring at the water hole. Kept us awake the whole night, and gave us goosebumps that we will never forget. We wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I cannot wait to return to SA and if anyone has the chance to experience Gorah you will not be sorry! The evening are the best part when you return from a sunset game drive to a glass of wine and warm fireplace with candles lit everywhere! Spectacular!!

This has to be one of the most amazing places I have ever stayed. The tents (if I can call them that, they are huge!!) are so luxurious and have the most spectacular views. From the second we arrived we have 4 elephants outside followed by tens of zebra – it was simply breath taking.

The food was out of this world and you could never go hungry, absolutely superb.

We went on 3 game drives during our stay and managed to see 4 of the big 5 – black rhino was a particular highlight. Our driver was Devon and he was extremely knowledgeable and informative.

The staff were excellent, they could not be more attentive, friendly and welcoming, for me they made the experience as magical as it was.

Not a cheap place but well worth the money, we can’t wait to make another visit!

An amazing place
The tents and accomodation are exactly as pictured and are the epitomy of luxury.
Once we got to our luxury tent… AND I mean LUXURY it was just heaven. I found wonderful importance that was given to little details like the complimentary sparkling wine
The game drives were brilliant. On our 6 game drives we saw lions, rhino, elephants, buffalo, hyenas, monkeys, zebra, eland, red hertebeast and so much more.

As we drove into Gorah we were greeted by Ross and his amazing staff as well as a herd of elephants and numerous smaller game enjoying a drink at the watering hole. All meals were held overlooking this waterhole (60 feet away) which makes for an experience that is almost breathtaking. The tents and accomodation are exactly as pictured and are the epitomy of luxury. With regards to the food - this makes your trip truly South African - we ate ostrich, springbok, kudu and quail eggs. I cannot give the chef enough compliments. Night time was spent listening to the roaring lions and the screeching owls, and daytime was spent driving through Addo and the separate Gorah area. We saw all of the big five except the leopard. The staff, lodge, and experience is one my husband and I will never forget.
