Property description Award-winning Samara Karoo Reserve is a conservation journey on 67,000 acres of born-again wilderness in the heart-stoppingly beautiful Great Karoo between Graaff-Reinet and Pearston. Five vegetation biomes combine with strikingly varied topography to create one of South Africa’s most diverse safari destinations. This landscape supports over 60 mammal species, including the Big Five, cheetah, aardvark and vast herds of desert-adapted antelope, as well as 225 bird species.

 

Two intimate lodges welcome just 26 guests at a time for slow, meaningful and exceptional safari encounters. Activities on offer include game drives, bush walks, wilderness picnics, conservation activities, a star bed, fly camping, mountain biking and photographic safaris. Children of all ages are welcomed with a dedicated children’s programme.
A member of The Long Run, Samara strives to achieve sustainability across the “4Cs”: Conservation, Community, Culture and Commerce. Staying at Samara acts as a direct contribution to this vision.
