Safari Experiences
Conceived as a love letter to the Karoo, the Samara guest experience brings to life this ecosystem of many treasures – from its abundant fauna and flora to its prehistory and contemporary culture.
Slow, meaningful and exceptional safari encounters are a Samara hallmark, with guests encouraged to take the time to breathe in the magic of this special landscape, guided by those who know and love it.
Samara showcases an astonishing combination of topographies and habitats, supporting an array of arid-adapted wildlife. With one of the lowest guest-to-land ratios in Africa, Samara guests are treated to intimate sightings of charismatic species including lion, elephant, giraffe and black and white rhinoceros without the pressure of other vehicles.
