Overview

The Manor at Samara is an exclusive-use, deluxe safari villa situated at the heart of the Samara Private Game Reserve in the beautiful Great Karoo. A maximum of eight guests can be accommodated at the Manor, and they will be assured of a personalised and flexible stay in the care of a private guide, chef and butler.

Experience the pulse of the Karoo from the comfort of an open game-drive vehicle.

Traveller Reviews

The Manor at Samara

Paulo Abreu

We had a great time at Samara. We had the entire Manor House for us and the kids were so proud for having a huge pool only for them!!!! The game drive was nice but, as you know, there are no lions / elephants in Samara. We were able to see cheetahs t

James Grant

"Selection of accommodations were fantastic and each one had their own unique characteristics that we will always remember. At the Manor, we were amazed at the opulence. The food at all of these places was first class!"
