Situated in the malaria free region of the Eastern Cape in South Africa, Samara Private Game Reserve is a place where time stands still as you stop to gaze across the open spaces and distant horizons of pure wilderness. Experience the charm of a traditional Colonial homestead surrounded by 70,000 protected acres in the Greater Karoo. Be inspired by the conservation projects which include the return of endangered species to Samara and where every effort is being made to preserve global biodiversity in this unique environment.
This Eastern Cape game reserve is home to an abundance of African wildlife, including a large diversity of game and endangered birds. It is here that you will be introduced to the elusive Cheetah by your expert and knowledgeable guide. Interacting with these amazing creatures in their natural environment is indeed an unforgettable experience. With four of the country’s seven biomes, Samara’s abundant wilderness preserves a complex and diverse ecosystem, providing habitat for over 60 mammal species. Among more common species, such as the Kudu and Duiker, the secretive Aardvark, and the once-endangered White Rhino roam.
Echoing the pulse of the Karoo, the interiors of the Samara Private Game Reserve seek to fuse the elegance of luxury colonial style cottages with the untamed beauty of the African bush. Whether you dine in the boma, under the stars or picnic overlooking the romantic plains of Camdeboo, you will savour the flavours of the mouth-watering cuisine hand-selected and produced in the Karoo Kitchen.
