Discover the Africa one always dreams and reads about, surrounded by 70,000 protected acres in the Great Karoo where time stands still, inviting you to pause, breathe, reflect.

There is a haunting power to the vast expanses of the Karoo that is utterly compelling.  Located in this remote and splendid wilderness, Samara is the largest private game reserve in the malaria-free Eastern Cape.  Its magnificent rolling plains and distant purple mountains are home to 4 of South Africa’s biomes and a host of flora and fauna.

Come and discover the secrets of Samara and indulge your senses.

fare …
