The reserve is now home to over 60 mammal species and 225 bird species – a testament to Samara’s conservation and rewilding efforts.

It’s a place that makes you want to keep driving, just to see the views! For those who visit, Samara Karoo Reserve's magic extends beyond its conservation importance. To experience this landscape of endless horizons is to experience a true re-connection with nature and a thrilling vision of hope for the future.

Samara Karoo Reserve embarks on a groundbreaking conservation mission, rejuvenating the Great Karoo area through rewilding efforts and sustainable tourism practices. Samara's overarching goal is to revive the true essence of the Karoo, revitalizing the compromised habitats and reintroducing the complete range of wildlife to this captivatingly scenic semi-arid terrain. One of the measures Samara Karoo Reserve has put in place is planting indigenous plants on the reserve to increase the biodiversity of the land. By choosing to support their cause, every guest at Samara plays a part in achieving the conservation objectives. Furthermore, guests are invited to actively engage in a wide range of conservation projects.
