There are only 6 rooms at the lodge all offering luxury and comfort. Three rooms are located in the Manor House, whilst the other 3 "Karoo Suites" are located a short walk from the main building. The Karoo Suites are free-standing and private.

Rooms in the Manor House each open onto the veranda whilst the Karoo suites each have a private veranda. Although rooms are basically similar, the Karoo suites are slightly larger with a bigger sitting area and also boast an outdoor shower. All rooms have en suite bathrooms, internet connection and offer a very comfortable stay.

The main lodge area is traditional Colonial style and guests can relax in the lounge or sit outside on the spacious veranda enjoying the views. During winter months a cosy fire will warm the atmosphere. There is a large swimming pool to cool-off.

Indulge in spa treatments, relax with a book or laze by the pool during the day. Your stay at any of the Samara lodges is focused on not only the game drives but also to relax and absorb the tranquil surrounds.

Couples and families are welcome at the lodge. Samara Karoo Lodge offers a dedicated 'kiddies programme' - ask us for more information about this.
