I have had the distinct joy and pleasure to have been part of the Samara family since 2006; when I say family it is exactly that; they make you feel at home. No request is too big/small or insignificant for them. We've been there in the height of summer and lazed next to the pool; been there in the middle of winter and sat on top of the Plateau and seen the snowy mountains surround us. We were HONORED to have been up close and personal with Sibella in those visits and on our last one, emotional and sad as it was due to her passing, we met Chili, one of her cubs; a thrill that never ceases to amaze me.
Our rangers have always been exceptional.
The lodge staff, from the maintenance to the housekeeping to the kitchen staff....awesome.
The food DIVINE.
And the other guests we have met along the way, I am pleased to say, have stayed in touch and every time we saw a Zebra or a Vervet, on subsequent visits, we were fondly reminded of Joel and Jean who we met along the way.
And let us not forget our memorable Silver Wedding Anniversary champagne and snacks sitting looking out over the Plains of the Camdeboo.
You may leave but a part of you will remain at Samara.
