The Karoo means different things to different people. To geologists it is an ancient formation of largely sedimentary deposits covering much of south east South Africa. For the purposes of this site we have used the term loosely to mean the interior of the old Cape Province.
Others see the Karoo as a huge, hot and arid empty space they need to cross to get somewhere else. This is an unfortunate perception as the Karoo encapsulates much of what is unique to South Africa. Bushveld and savannah can been seen elsewhere in Africa but only the Karoo offers the combination of geology, geography, history and lifestyle that is unique.
We hope that this site will encourage more people to explore the Karoo to discover its beauty, interests, wildlife and above all the hospitality of its people.
