Stayed at: Roam Safari Lodge
A very special place
Roam is different and very special. Roam is individual, embedded in a wonderful landscape with game drives through dry riverbeds and rugged gorges. The lodge is in a beautiful location, the food is excellent and the whole team is extremely service-oriented. I have had the privilege to have traveled almost the whole word in my life and for me, the 3 nights were in Roam were among the best i've experienced.

Fabulous setting
We had a very pleasant 3-night stay at Roam Game Reserve. Our guide, Donovan, was absolutely fantastic. He imparted so much incredible knowledge to us. The lodge staff were excellent and made sure we had everything we needed at all times. The chef provided us with the most delicious meals and the pool was welcome to refresh after a hot day!

The cheetah were relocated to the arid Great Karoo region as part of a conservation project that ultimately seeks to increase the population numbers of cheetah in the wild, and the Karoo forms part of the cheetah’s historic range. Roam is the first place to have free-roaming cheetah in the region for over 150 years. The cheetah at Roam are fitted with GPS collars and are monitored using a combination of telemetry, and traditional track and sign methods developed by the Khoi and San bushmen, the original inhabitants of the area. The cheetah roam free in the wild, which means you will spend time tracking the cats with qualified guides before getting within close proximity to these wild animals.
Bird ringing, or bird banding as it is known elsewhere, is the process where birds are captured in mist nets, fitted with an identification ring and released. The species, sex, age, weight and measurements of the bird are all recorded and sent to a central database (in South Africa SAFRing manages this database). Guests will learn about how to tag birds and the process behind bird-ringing
Roam is home to a number of animals, and it is imperative to the sustainable management of the reserve that we accurately monitor the health of the entire system. This is achieved through monitoring of fauna and flora.
