Is the Plains Camp at Samara for Me?

Plains Camp, nestled in Samara Karoo Reserve’s 67,000-acre wilderness, offers an off-grid experience for up to 8 guests. This eco-conscious tented camp, designed to touch the earth lightly, provides a grounding retreat without wifi or electricity.

Located in a remote area with sweeping views, the camp features four deluxe tents and a communal mess tent. Simple yet comfortable furnishings create an authentic safari atmosphere. Mornings are dedicated to bush walks, while afternoon game drives offer close encounters with diverse wildlife, including the Big Five and cheetah.

Samara’s varied landscape spans five vegetation biomes, home to over 60 mammal and 225 bird species. The camp’s sustainability focus and intimate safari experiences align with Samara’s ambitious rewilding vision.

Disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with nature at Plains Camp, where the Karoo landscape speaks for itself and campfire-cooked meals add unforgettable authenticity to your stay.
