Information

Discover the charisma of the Karoo Heartland. The Karoo is the vast central plateau of South Africa, a land of grandeur, sweeping skies and wide horizons, of space, silence and champagne air, where Nature reigns majestic. To many, the Karoo represents the essence and all the allure of South Africa, retaining a sense of mystery and challenge. Follow the routes of the Karoo Heartland - and be prepared to fall under its enigmatic spell. As an eco-tourism destination the Karoo is a land like no other, offering a diversity of scenery, fauna, flora, history and cultures. 

For the visitor, the Karoo offers natural, outdoor and manmade attractions in keeping with its landscapes. Hiking, mountaineering, game-viewing, hunting, safaris, farm-stay visits, bird-watching, para-gliding and even water sport. San (Bushman) paintings and engravings can be viewed in their natural surroundings and caves. Dinosaurs roamed this area, leaving behind an unequalled palaeontological heritage and the area is very rich in fossils. Game is plentiful in the Karoo and seeing a herd of springbok leaping in the veld, migrating storks or a rare breed of Zebra galloping past is unforgettable. 

The Karoo's towns, from its smallest villages to the gracious town of Graaff-Reinet, are just as fascinating as the vast countryside surrounding them. The Karoo landscapes were immortalised by the author Olive Schreiner, but the towns and villages which sprang up have carved a niche for themselves as intriguing places which have to be explored for their architectural heritage and turbulent history.  Whilst visiting the Karoo, don’t forget to savour the ultimate in Karoo Cuisine.
