Samara 

Samara Private Game Reserve is situated in the malaria free Eastern Cape Region of South Africa. One of the largest private reserves in the country, Samara consists of 28,000 hectares of luscious wilderness. Due to its privacy, Samara guarantees guests seclusion and a free reign to explore the variety of eco systems within the reserve. Samara is well away from tourists traps meaning it is a prime base from which to view spectacular game or simply relax away from the rest of the world.
