"Five star lodge and a private game drive to unwind and reconnect"

10.0

Manor is a stunning property and Gerandine’s done such an amazing job, so hospitable and sincerely kind to her guests. Our guide Christian went an extra mile to make sure we get to see all the animals. Overall, next level of luxury and privacy on an extraordinary setting in the wild.

Wi-Fi is dependent on the weather conditions (no connection on rainy days), lack of mobile data and network in the area.

Lovely location and friendly and helpful staff. Very comfortable rooms. Food was excellent. Guides for the game viewing were knowledgeable and the coffee and sundowners were most welcome. Our car was even washed during our stay.

"fabulous! met some great people and overall highly recommended"

10.0

Amazing experience! worth the additional km’s from Cape Town (if your driving) to spend a couple of days at Samara. there’s so much diversity and you never feel like your on the ‘Safari conveyer belt’ with dozens of other tourists! In particular our guide ‘Marlin’ was terrific! He went out of his way to do everything to ensure we had a wonderful all-round experience.

Nothing big to like ……

Tolle Lage der Lodge, Zimmer sind sauber, sehr geräumig, das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Essen ist abwechslungsreich und ausreichend - inkl. Überraschungspicknick am 1. Weihnachtsfeiertag. Die Pirschfahrten sind informativ und spannend. Rundum ein gelungener Aufenthalt! Eine Oase fernab des Alltagsstress und der Hektik der Großstädte - Samara Private Game Reserve ist absolut eine Reise wert !!!

"Melhor Safari privado da região fora do Kruger."

10.0

Eu fui com um grupo de oito pessoas. Tudo foi surreal. A estrutura, os quartos, a casa principal, os jantares e cafés da manhã, tudo sensacional. Os funcionários são super atenciosos e prestativos. Inclusive tive um problema com pneu furado e os próprios funcionários trocaram, consertaram e ainda ligaram para a locadora do veículo para resolver tudo. Tivemos um almoço inesquecível em cima da montanha com vista para toda a Savana africana. Vale cada centavo se hospedar aqui. No Safari vimos varios animais bem de perto, os guias são atenciosos, sabem de cada animal com detalhes e respondem a todas as perguntas.
