The Manor at Samara

Stretching from dramatic mountain terrain to the sweeping Plains of Camdeboo, the Samara Private Game Reserve encompasses 28,000 hectares of spectacular Karoo wilderness.

The reserve offers a tremendous game experience for those hoping to see cheetah (there is an excellent wild cheetah breeding programme in operation here), mountain zebra, the once-endangered white rhino, big herds of plains game such as kudu, eland, black wildebeest and beautiful birds, such as the rare blue crane.

The reserve is only a 3 hour drive from Port Elizabeth.

Whether ensconced in the comfort of an open game viewing vehicle, or trekking through the fragrant Karoo bush, guests can discover the secrets of Samara.

The untouched Plains of Camdeboo is also home to fossils that predate the dinosaurs, and the well-preserved Bushman paintings offer a fascinating insight into some of the historical intricacies of the past.

The Manor at Samara can either be booked as an exclusive use property or on a per room basis. The Manor offers very stylish accommodation with a modern day karoo style interior and design. Guests here can enjoy the services of their own chef, ranger, vehicle and team, all on hand to attend to all clients needs.

There are 4 private suites with en-suite bathrooms all with private patios and outdoor lounge sofas to enjoy the amazing views. There is also a large pool, 4 indoor lounge areas, 2 outdoor lounge areas, a dining room, a separate breakfast room, bar area and a large kitchen where you can walk in and treat yourself to anything you want, all facing west and overlooking a watering hole for game.
