hotel description

Nestled below an escarpment on the edge of the great plain of Camdeboo, the Karoo lodge is designed with nature utmost in mind. It is a beautiful private lodge, with space for just twelve guests and a cosy interior that blends effortlessly with the amazing scenery beyond. The kitchen is superb, and whether you dine in the Bamo or picnic under the stars, you can savour the fine flavours of the locally sourced food.

location

The Karoo is one of the most astonishing backdrops imaginable, with vast plains and big, big skies interrupted only by dramatic mountain ranges. It’s located in the Samara Private Game Reserve in South Africa’s Eastern Cape.

your room

All of the rooms reflect the laid-colonial style of the rest of the lodge, with lots of wood, natural colours and plenty of light. Crisp white sheets adorn the beds, whilst African artefacts and pictures can be seen at every turn. Double doors lead onto the veranda and gardens, and give access to the infinity pool.
