SAMARA KAROO RESERVE

Samara Karoo Reserve is an award-winning conservation project on 67,000 acres of heart-stoppingly beautiful wilderness in the Great Karoo of South Africa. Founded in 1997 by Mark and Sarah Tompkins, Samara has pioneered the rewilding of this semi-arid yet uniquely biodiverse landscape, catalysing an ambitious vision to expand the conservation area to three million acres within a global biodiversity hotspot. Today the reserve is one of South Africa’s most diverse safari destinations – comprising five vegetation biomes across strikingly varied topography, which are home to over 60 mammal species, including the Big Five and cheetah, as well as 225 bird species. Two intimate lodges welcome just 26 guests at a time for slow, meaningful and exceptional safari encounters. To immerse oneself in this landscape of infinite horizons is to experience a recalibration of the frantic modern mindset, a deep reconnection with nature and a heart-lifting vision of hope for the future. Each guest that visits Samara plays an important role in safeguarding the landscape in perpetuity.

BULLO RIVER STATION

Bullo River Station is 500,000 acres of pristine wilderness, carved with gorges and waterfalls. Located at the confluence of the Bullo and Victoria Rivers in the Northern Territory, Bullo is one of the most breath-taking and beautiful properties in Australia. The station is managed with a philosophy of partnership, where we never take too much or work it too hard, to ensure its rich treasure trove of nature is here for generations to come. The comfortable lodge can accommodate up to 24 guests, and each of the 12 ensuite rooms have AC, opening onto either the palm fringed pool or a calm shady lawn. Owners Alexandra and Julian Burt believe cattle grazing and conservation work in concert – and to this end, a partnership with the Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) was formed. AWC’s work includes scientific monitoring, feral species eradication, fire management and weed control, all of which help to deliver increased diversity of native flora and fauna, leading to a positive outcome for the ecological health of this incredible landscape.
