We are thrilled to welcome Marnus Ochse back as Samara’s General Manager as of 1st May 2017. Marnus worked at Samara in 2011 and 2012. Prior to that he was a manager at Rhulani Lodge in Madikwe Game Reserve.
He had this to say about his return to Samara:
“I am extremely excited to join the Samara team again. I’ve always had a very soft spot for Samara because of how special and unique the place is. I feel that I can add great value to be part of Samara’s vision and what we want to create with the land, the wildlife and its people.”
As well as a great leader and team player, Marnus is also a talented photographer. See below some of his images taken at Samara. Welcome back Marnus!
