We present our list of Samara’s top romantic settings – the perfect getaway for a proposal, honeymoon, anniversary, or even just to treat that special someone.

Wake up to the sound of silence
Escape the stresses of city living by booking into our luxurious Karoo Suite. Awaken in your four-poster bed to the sounds of the bush – quiet, gentle, soothing. Open the curtains to reveal views that stretch to the mountains beyond. Breathe in the fresh Karoo air and unwind.

Experience a private guided walk
There are few things more romantic than shared experiences that make memories to last a lifetime. Embark on a journey of discovery with one of Samara’s expert guides to learn about the wild and our place within it. Track cheetah on foot, hike to wild olive groves and feel yourself reconnecting with Nature.


Indulge in our river lunch
Sit back in your canvas chair as the cool, clear water flows past your ankles. Sip on a glass of sparkling wine as you hold your beloved’s hand. The perfect respite from a hot summer’s day.


Enjoy an Eagle Rock sundowner
One of Samara’s highest vantage points, Eagle Rock offers views stretching over 150 kilometres on a clear day. Home to a nesting pair of Black Eagles, this is the ideal spot for a romantic sundowner. Or indeed, a proposal.


Sit down to a starlit dinner for two
Samara’s abundance of stunning scenery lends itself perfectly to outdoor dining at its finest. Whether on your own private veranda or out in the bush, treat yourself to an intimate dining experience as the night sky unfolds to reveal a ceiling of stars.

Sleep out under the stars
Samara’s Milky Way star bed offers a unique romantic experience under the Karoo’s famous night skies. Set on a remote location along the Milk River, the star bed consists of an elevated platform with a four poster bed draped in a mosquito net. Arrive at sunset for sundowners overlooking the mountainscape. Enjoy dinner as the sun goes down and the stars begin to appear. Fall asleep to the sounds of the bush.
