Winter is the ideal season to relax into the Karoo frame of mind. Mild, sunny days make walking safaris a pleasure, and wildlife tends to be easier to spot (including the elusive aardvark).KAROO LODGE
The lovingly renovated farmhouse lies on the first property purchased by the Tompkins family when they founded Samara in 1997. Combining modern day comforts with a rustic and welcoming feel, Karoo Lodge is the perfect place to relax and allow the tranquillity of the Karoo to envelop you – on the wide verandah in summer or by the cosy fire inwinter.
THE GREAT KAROO, SOUTH AFRICA The Karoo is split into roughly two sections: the expansive Great Karoo to the north-east and the smaller Little Karoo (Klein Karoo) in the south-west.Samara Private Game Reserve sits within the Great Karoo, which covers more than 400,000 km² – an area larger than Germany. The name Karoo comes from an ancient San word meaning Land of Great Thirst, a reference to the arid landscape and harsh THE HISTORY OF THE KAROO The land beneath our feet is alive with millennia of stories. Celebrated as a veritable treasure trove of fossils, the Karoo basin is famous among palaeontologists for the record it holds of the transition between reptiles and mammals – crucial to our own evolution as humans. A TRIBUTE TO SIBELLA Samara Private Game Reserve, in the semi-arid Great Karoo, was to be her new home.Located in an area where cheetahs once thrived but had long been exterminated by farmers and hunters, this born-again wilderness represents the amalgamation of 11 former livestock farms, rewilded to their former glory.SIBELLA'S STORY
This exceptional cat has done more than merely touch our hearts and allow us to marvel at her beauty. She is also a record-breaker of note, being the first cheetah back in the Karoo in 125 years, contributing 2.4% to the wild cheetah population in South Africa through her various litters, and featuring in dozens of magazines, newspapers and television programmes across the globe.

300 years ago, the Great Karoo was a haven for wildlife. Vast herds of eland and Cape buffalo roamed the grasslands, black rhinoceros thrived in the dense thickets, and herds of elephant meandered up from the coast to feed along the green mountain slopes.

A PIONEERING CONSERVATION JOURNEY Regenerating South Africa's Great Karoo region through rewilding and responsible tourism. Welcome to Samara, an award-winning conservation journey in a heart-stoppingly beautiful setting. Born in 1997 of a desire to restore the Great Karoo to its former glory, Samara has pioneered the rewilding of a landscape that had been turned over to agriculture for the best part of three centuries. Once a thriving semi-arid ecosystem of astonishing diversity, the fortunes of the Great Karoo region changed with the advent of fences, firearms and farming. The once-epic springbok migrations vanished, as did the predators that stalked the herds. The ecosystem faltered; grassland slowly turned to dust. Assembling 11 farms totalling 67,000 acres, Samara’s founders vowed to restore the magic of this place, embarking on an ambitious programme of land restoration and wildlife reintroduction. Today, thousands of wild animals roam this born-again wilderness and Samara is working with local stakeholders to extend the conservation ethic to over 3 million acres. 26 guests at a time are invited to join Samara’s conservation journey and help to shape it for the future. Two intimate owner-run lodges with a true sense of place offer a quintessentially warm Karoo welcome, with myriad activities on offer to explore, entertain andeducate.
In staying at Samara, every guest plays a role in safeguarding the landscape in perpetuity. Yet for those who visit, Samara’s magic extends beyond its conservation importance. To immerse oneself in this soulful landscape of infinite horizons is to experience a recalibration of the frantic modern mindset, a deep reconnection with Nature and a heart-lifting vision of hope for the future. Our aim is for every guest to leave Samara empowered by the healing energy of Nature, having reconnected with what's truly important. A UNIQUE AFRICAN SAFARI EXPERIENCEFamily Safari
