Description

Samara Private Game Reserve is situated in the malaria-free Eastern Cape where time stands still, inviting you to pause, breathe and reflect. Discover the Africa one always dreams and reads about, with spectacular sunsets and starry skies, surrounded by 70 000 protected acres in the Great Karoo. Secluded, wild and remote, Mountain Retreat surveys an ancient landscape. There are three double en-suite bedrooms in the homestead and a further two en-suite bedrooms in the restored Victorian wagon house. A comfortable lounge with fireplace and TV, and a dining room complete the indoor facilities. A wide wrap-around veranda provides the perfect area for relaxing while contemplating the awesome view. A Jacuzzi on the veranda and a Karoo-style plunge pool afford ideal cooling off spots. Essential power is provided by a generator.
