Our new Karoo Lodge is taking shape!

By Samara on August 31, 2023
The Karoo Lodge renovation is in full swing and we are so looking forward to sharing the finished product with you.

A great deal of love and hard work is going into ensuring the redesign retains the lodge’s quintessential Karoo character while embracing a modern approach to safari living.

Upon re-opening on 15 December 2023, Karoo Lodge will comprise 8 Karoo Suites and 2 Karoo Family Suites. Rates start at R11,000 pppns all-inclusive.

All suites will be standalone units within the lodge gardens, leaving the main homestead dedicated to beautiful shared spaces, including two sitting rooms, an atmospheric dining room, vinoteque, bar, farm kitchen and library.

Eight Karoo Suites are based on the layout of the Karoo Retreat cottages of old, consisting of one bedroom with en-suite bathroom, living space, wraparound verandah and outdoor shower.

Two Karoo Family Suites each consist of two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and outdoor showers, sharing a living space and wraparound verandah.

All suites are positioned to overlook the spectacular mountain landscape – including from the bath!

Indigenous gardens, a new indoor courtyard, children’s play room, boma and swimming pool area complete the picture – not forgetting the new “story room” where guests can immerse themselves in Samara’s journey past, present and future.

With a commitment to sustainable use of environmental resources at the heart of Samara’s ethos, the new Karoo Lodge will be 100% powered by renewable energy, making use of innovative wastewater systems and water-wise technologies.

A moodboard simply cannot do the beating heart and soul of Samara justice – so why not get a head-start on the rest by reserving your stay at our reinvigorated and refreshed Karoo Lodge today.

Don’t forget our Best of Both Special – spend 3+ nights at Karoo Lodge and 2+ nights at Plains Camp and enjoy 15% off your stay. Contact Reservations to check availability and to book.


Samara Karoo Reserve is a leading conservation journey to restore 67,000 acres of South Africa’s Great Karoo landscape and beyond through rewilding and responsible tourism. Staying at one of Samara’s lodges acts as a direct contribution to this vision.
