Samara Karoo Reserve's Plains Camp tends more to the adventure side of glamping.
What humble little resident of the Karoo sounds like a frog, flies like a bird, and loves a game of hide and seek? Senior Samara ranger Jan Dunn had played an audio clip for me of a Karoo korhaan calling, and I was keen to see one, so, having driven out from Plains Camp towards the foot of Eselskop where a flock had last been seen, we left the vehicle and tramped into the veld.
To get to Samara head north from Gqeberha on the R75. Ten minutes past Kariega and you’re into the Karoo and the vervet monkeys will be there on the side of the road to welcome you.
Jim Freeman's recent visit to Samara Karoo Reserve in the Karoo bushveld was filled with all sorts of animal adventures and encounters.
