Samara Private Game Reserve
Samara Private Game Reserve  is a 28,300 hectare private game reserve, located near Graaff-Reinet in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. Previously a network of 11 livestock farms, Samara was created in 1997 with the vision to restore the area to its natural state. This is being achieved by slowly rehabilitating the land and reintroducing the natural biodiversity. The South African cheetahs are at the forefront of Samara's conservation initiatives, and forms part of the Cheetah Metapopulation Programme, managed by the Endangered Wildlife Trust.
