Nieu Bethesda: Fossils, Meerkats & Owls
Deep in the Karoo is a little village called Nieu Bethesda where the owl and the meerkat rule the roost.
Gariep Route
The remarkable Gariep Dam in the Grassy Karoo is the biggest catchment of fresh water in South Africa - prime waterfront real estate. And the real surprise? There’s practically not a soul in sight...
Magical Matjiesfontein
