Taken together, these experiences represent the kind of diverse itinerary that few other reserves can provide on one property.
We recommend starting your Samara journey with 2 nights at Plains Camp. Located in a remote part of the reserve with spellbinding views, Plains Camp feels worlds apart from any other safari accommodation in South Africa. Here, the focus shifts from simply seeing wildlife to understanding the ecosystem. Guided bush walks take centre-stage. Without the barrier of a vehicle, the senses become heightened, ecological awareness awakened.
Once you have found your new rhythm and embraced a slower pace, embark on a game drive transfer to Karoo Lodge or The Manor for a luxurious conclusion to your safari. Beyond tailored game drives, enjoy wilderness picnics, conservation activities, wellness treatments and the opportunity to experience the romance of the star bed.
