When the owners of the Samara Private Game Reserve first came to this place on South Africa's Eastern Cape, they fell in love with the magnificent landscape and decided to do everything in their power to preserve it. Now they invite you to experience Greater Karoo over 70,000 protected acres.
Whether you stay in the Karoo Lodge, the Manor, or the Mountain Retreat, you'll be in friendly company. Enjoy being outnumbered by the amazing array of animals: buffalo graze on your front lawn as you enjoy morning coffee, a mother cheetah and her cubs regard you calmly on an afternoon walk, and a climb up the mountain reveals a view of the Karoo plains below, where zebra, springbok, wildebeest, and rhinoceros make their homes.
Take advantage of the knowledge of the rangers, who can ensure memorable wildlife encounters. Enjoy fantastic food, and decidedly un-rustic accommodation (air conditioning and fireplaces are standard here). You're sure to fall in love with this place, too.
