SAMARA KAROO RESERVE

SUITABLE FOR:

• Couples & families
• Groups of friends
• Private parties & special occasions
• Those interested in conservation initiatives

KAROO LODGE:

The largest of the lodges on the reserve, Karoo Lodge offers Lodge Suites in the main homestead, private Karoo Suites in individual cottages in the garden and two Sibella Suites sharing a wooden deck overlooking a waterhole.

MANOR HOUSE:

Available for exclusive-use when the owners are absent, Manor House offers four elegant en-suite rooms in a delightfully private homestead with attendant staff. A 21m infinity pool overlooks a waterhole frequented by visiting game. The large living room is beautifully cosy in winter when the fireplace blazes, and light and airy in the summer time when the patio doors are opened onto the shaded terrace. Dining venue is your choice from the dining room, boma, veranda or dining al fresco in the bush.

MOUNTAIN RETREAT:

Delightfully remote, this secluded retreat comprises three bedrooms in the main house and two further bedrooms in a converted barn. A veranda extends around the main house and makes the perfect venue for sundowners followed by dinner. Alternatively dine in the boma or dining room. This is African wilderness living at its best.
