Karoo Reviews
Peaceful
The beautiful scenery, the wide open spaces and the feeling of peace.
Solitude
The Karoo is scenic, and beautiful in its own way. Views that stretch to the distance, speckled with windmills and reservoirs which make for delightful swimming holes in the summer heat. Rich in wildlife like tortoises, birds, insects, buck and jackals.

Tranquility in Klein Karoo
Peace
The Karoo steals your soul ..
