Samara Karoo Reserve
Samara Karoo Reserve is a conservation journey on 27,000 hectares of born-again wilderness in the heart-stoppingly beautiful Great Karoo of South Africa. Five vegetation biomes combine with strikingly varied topography to support over 60 mammal species, including the Big Five, Cheetah, Aardvark and vast herds of desert-adapted antelope, as well as 225 bird species. Surrounded by the spectacular «Sneeuberge» (Snow Mountains), Samara’s Karoo Lodge in the original historic farm homestead of the reserve has recently reopened after an extensive re-design. Created as a tribute to the Karoo, the lodge reflects the region’s rich history yet offers all the modern comforts of a 5-star hotel. Just 53 km from Graaff-Reinet, the 4th oldest town in South Africa, Samara offers a captivating safari experience off the beaten path, perfect for nature lovers seeking peace amidst stunning, isolated wilderness landscapes and expansive starry skies. Samara is renowned for rehabilitating endangered species and providing opportunities to encounter Africa’s favorite wildlife.Best eco-friendly: Leading in eco-responsibility, the new Karoo Lodge operates entirely on 100% renewable energy and incorporates innovative wastewater recycling systems. Samara actively restores and rehabilitates degraded landscapes through sound land management practices, including soil erosion control and indigenous vegetation planting.As a member of The Long Run, Samara strives to achieve sustainability across the “4Cs”: Conservation, Community, Culture and Commerce.
