samara private game reserve0

Heart-stoppingly beautiful, is how award-winning Samara Private Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape, is ultimately described. Elegant lodges provide luxury accommodation nestled between an amphitheatre of mountains on 70,000 acres, where wildlife roams again. .



The battle sites of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift in KwaZulu Natal along with the characters of yesteryear and the haunting beauty of the semi-desert land inspired the birth of this gorgeous gem of a nature reserve.



Samara, land of serenity, has had as its aim, the realization of the land’s potential, not only as an area of outstanding natural diversity, but also as home to an ambitious program of game reintroduction. Herds of springbok, black wildebeest, zebra, oryx, eland and blesbok amongst others “pronk” and run again on the Plains of Camdeboo. Rhino and giraffe now meander across the veld. Nearly 125 years after it was last seen, the cheetah reigns again.



An amazing life changing and intensely calming experience awaits, so come walk with the cheetah as you celebrate the rebirth of a unique piece of Africa and experience a luxury safari in the Graaff Reinet region of the Eastern Cape.
