"Samara Karoo Reserve has pioneered the rewilding of the Great Karoo in South
Africa for over a quarter of the century. Inspired by tales of the springbok
migrations of yesteryear and motivated to reverse the damage wrought on the
landscape through centuries of exploitation, Sarah and Mark Tompkins founded
Samara in 1997.

Through habitat restoration and species reintroductions underpinned by research
and supported by ecotourism, they have successfully restored 67,000 acres of
land, reintroduced the first cheetah, black rhino, elephant and lion in over a
century – and created the catalyst for the creation of South Africa’s third
largest protected area covering three million acres."
