Simonsig Family Vineyards has cultivated a legacy of innovation and sustainability since 1968. From pioneering South Africa’s first Cap Classique to embracing ethical winemaking, the Malan family's commitment to the land runs deep. This weekend, the rewilded landscapes of Samara present a three-night experience hosted by Michael Malan, Cellar Master of Simonsig Family Vineyards. From the vineyards of Stellenbosch to the vast plains of the Karoo, this gathering explores the intersection of time-honoured winemaking and conservation.

This Endangered Species Day, we celebrate the remarkable recovery of the Cape mountain zebra (Equus zebra zebra), a species once on the brink of extinction. With fewer than 100 individuals left in the 1950s, their numbers have climbed to above 5,000 today, thanks to decades of conservation efforts. Despite this progress, the species remains listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, facing ongoing threats from habitat fragmentation, genetic isolation and limited range expansion. Samara contains thousands of hectares of suitable habitat for these special zebras on the Samara Mara grasslands, and we are proud to play a role in their protection. #SamaraKaroo #EndangeredSpeciesDay #CapeMountainZebra #WildlifeConservation - - - - Samara is on a journey to regenerate South Africa's semi-arid Great Karoo region through rewilding and responsible tourism.
