Eastern Cape Karoo Heartland Information

The Karoo is a place of peace, tranquility and desert landscapes. It crosses four provinces of South Africa : the Western Cape, the Northern Cape, the Eastern Cape and the Free State.

It is the ideal destination for people who are looking for unspoiled natural beauty or simply getting away from everyday life.

It also offers insight into South African culture and history and offers a whole range of tourist attractions and activities that range from adventure sports to leisurely sunset game drives.

The Karoo is certainly a place that offers more than what meets the eye.
