Glamping Sites in Graaff-Reinet

We had an incredible time and will definitely come back. The location a little bit off the grid and not too many guests was exactly what we wished for, for an intimate game reserve experience! All expectations were exceeded :) From the welcome, to the Manor, to the amazing food, the game drives, star gazing… everything was wonderful and moments we will cherish! We were a bit worried about the 27km gravel road. But in the end even our VW Polo had no problem at all. Just go slow and enjoy the ride, there are wild animals already on the way to the reserve (we saw a lot of giraffes, Kudu, Monkeys…). With some stops to watch the animals, it took us around 1h 15 min.

The management swapped our accommodation to their guesthouse in town because of bad weather that would have made the glamping experience uncomfortable. The Riverbend cottages were excellent.

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.
