About Samara Private Game Reserve
Immerse yourself in the extraordinary wonders of Samara Private Game Reserve, where discerning travelers embark on a remarkable journey. Spanning an awe-inspiring 70,000 acres of meticulously restored wilderness, this award-winning malaria-free retreat embraces four captivating vegetation biomes, including the renowned 'Samara Mara', teeming with a diverse array of wildlife. Tucked away in this ethereal sanctuary lie two intimate lodges, ideal for those seeking an exclusive escape. With only 26 guests at a time, our lodges offer a blissful sense of seclusion amidst an amphitheater
Samara is the largest private game reserve in the Eastern Cape. Two game activities per day allow you to explore 67,000 acres on foot or in a vehicle. Samara is renowned for tracking wild cheetah, aardvark, rhino and elephant on foot.
There is a 9-hole golf course in nearby Graaff-Reinet.
Samara is a stunning wedding venue, catering for small intimate ceremonies up to 30 guests. Alternatively we can organise larger celebrations working with outside catering, flower and wedding planning companies.
Children of all ages welcome at Karoo Lodge. Under-8s are not permitted on game drives with other guests. Dedicated kids programme on offer. Children under 14 are not permitted at The Manor (except for sole-use).
The Great Karoo provides the ideal romantic background for a honeymoon or proposal and we provide a bottle of sparkling wine, a private dinner on the patio of your suite and a complimentary massage as a little treat.
Samara’s first priority is the health, safety and well-being of our guests and staff members. We have implemented new protocols designed to give you peace of mind without compromising on Samara’s authentic Karoo hospitality.
