No wifi, no electricity, no high-tech distractions – just a grounding, humbling experience in Nature. This is the ethos of Samara Karoo Reserve’s tented camp, Plains Camp, an off-grid experience with spellbinding views for up to 8 guests.

Samara itself is one of South Africa's most diverse safari destinations, comprising five vegetation biomes across strikingly varied topography on 67,000 acres, home to over 60 mammal species including the Big Five and cheetah, as well as 225 bird species. Guests at Samara are treated to intimate and exceptional safari encounters, enabling them to reconnect with Nature in the context of Samara's ambitious rewilding vision.

Designed to touch the ground lightly and with sustainability in mind, the elegantly-simple Plains Camp echoes the semi-permanence of mobile camps set up during safaris of yore. Located in a remote part of the reserve with spellbinding views and abundant wildlife including the Big Five, this unpretentious eco-conscious camp lets the landscape do the talking, allowing guests to disconnect from their busy lives in soothing solitude. Morning walking safaris and afternoon game drives bring the landscape to life, whilst meals cooked over the fire add an unforgettable authenticity.
