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.

KAROO TOWNS IN CACADU

Aberdeen

Aberdeen is located in the Camdeboo plains and frequently attracts many
new comers. The architectural style depicts Victorian, Russian and Gothic
architecture. The town’s main attractions include the Dutch Reformed

attraction of the Cambdeboo National Park, which is located just outside
Graaff-Reinet. The Valley of Desolation is a geological phenomenon formed
millions of years ago from extreme weathering and erosion,

Helen Martins, and on which Athol Fugard’s play “The Road to Mecca” was based.
This artistic town is home to growing talent in the sector of arts and crafts.

Jacobs Craft Workshops. Alternatively, visitors can go back in time with
