In the old native languages, the Karoo means "Place of thirst."
What it lacks in water though, it makes up for in the hospitality of
its people, the true spirit of the Karoo. A boundless and mysterious area.
The incredible desert days give way to clear, dark nights bright with
stars offering some of the best stargazing in the world.

Discover eccentric farmsteads & towns, such as gracious Graaff-Reinet,
that possess old-time hospitality. Visit Nieu Bethesda & see mysterious art
at the Owl House. Explore The Valley of Desolation in the Camdeboo
National Park. Traveling a dust road with vast plains, purple mountains
and infinite arching sky, you think - this is a spiritual place, the greatest
cathedral on earth.
