  • Exclusive to South Africans | Easy Escape | Reconnect with the Karoo

The Karoo is an iconic South African landscape that deserves to be cherished.

We are delighted to offer special rates for South African residents to enjoy the Samara experience as the jewel in the Karoo’s crown. Set on 67,000 acres of born-again wilderness, Samara offers a world-class safari in the Eastern Cape near Graaff-Reinet.

Three lodges provide intimate and authentic accommodation, with guests directly supporting Samara’s rewilding vision and the preservation of the Great Karoo’s unique biodiversity.

Encircled by a natural amphitheatre of mountains, Karoo Lodge is a 24-bed farmstead combining traditional Karoo style and modern South African design with personal touches evoking Samara’s journey as a family-run conservation project.

The Manor is an elegant exclusive-use safari villa in a contemporary Karoo style, sleeping 8 guests in utmost comfort and privacy.

Eight-bed Plains Camp is an authentic off-grid tented experience with spellbinding views, focusing on walking safaris and reconnecting with Nature in elegant simplicity.

While a place like Kruger will always feed our souls, our two visits to Samara have somehow had a depth and meaning to them that have been absent on other bush holidays. At Samara there is the unrivalled sense of being part of something bigger.
