Directions to Gorah Elephant Camp from Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) Airport

  • Depart from the airport on De Havilland Street to the traffic circle.
  • At the traffic circle, take the second exit onto Alistair Miller Road (M11). Palm trees line the road; the airport is now on your right.

  • Turn left at the traffic light into Forest Hill Drive (graveyard on your left).
  • Follow Forest Hill Drive to the intersection of Walmer Boulevard (M9).

  • Turn left into Settlers Way (M4).
  • Follow the signs to Grahamstown N2 (keep right after turning left; don’t go under the bridge).

  • The second turnoff is 30 km from the airport. This is the CORRECT turnoff (Addo Elephant National Park / Camp Matyholweni Gate).
  • On the N2, after crossing the Sundays River bridge, start looking out for signs for the Addo Elephant Park / Camp Matyholweni Gate turnoff on your left.
  • After turning left, follow the road for 1 km until you get to a sign for the Addo National Park. Turn off towards your right.
