Manor is a stunning property and Gerandine’s done such an amazing job, so hospitable and sincerely kind to her guests. Our guide Christian went an extra mile to make sure we get to see all the animals. Overall, next level of luxury and privacy on an extraordinary setting in the wild.
Wi-Fi is dependent on the weather conditions (no connection on rainy days), lack of mobile data and network in the area.

Lovely location and friendly and helpful staff. Very comfortable rooms. Food was excellent. Guides for the game viewing were knowledgeable and the coffee and sundowners were most welcome. Our car was even washed during our stay.

Amazing experience! worth the additional km’s from Cape Town (if your driving) to spend a couple of days at Samara. there’s so much diversity and you never feel like your on the ‘Safari conveyer belt’ with dozens of other tourists!
In particular our guide ‘Marlin’ was terrific! He went out of his way to do everything to ensure we had a wonderful all-round experience.

I absolutely loved the bush walks. They are certainly worth the adrenaline rush. The food is exquisite. This is the ideal place to disconnect. The staff are super friendly and go out of their way to make it a spectacular experience.

The game viewing , the different biomes , were a great experience
The accommodation and main facility was really lovely , homely !!
The food was ok and abundant , but not at the same standard that the rest offers .

Everything! The reserve is so diverse geographically wise that no game drive looks like the previous one and Dieter (ranger) and Christiaan (tracker) made it all the more interesting. The encounter with the cheetahs is an unforgettable moment. All of the staff is very attentive and pleasant and the food is just delicious. Just hope to be back one day!
It would be even more perfect if the water hole by Sibela Suites was slightly illuminated to be able to watch the animals coming to drink at night

Magnificent location, beautiful accommodation. Very peaceful and relaxing
Guest relations could be improved
