Explore the fascinating Karoo
The Karoo in the Eastern Cape is one of the most diverse and breathtakingly beautiful areas in South Africa. It is home to a wealth of wildlife, ranging from the leaping Springbok to the soaring Black Eagle, the rare mountain zebra and various species of tortoise. Blaauwbosch is situated in the Karoo region which is the area with the largest ecosystem in the country. The Karoo boasts ideal game viewing conditions. The sparse vegetation ensures that the larger animals like Elephant, Buffalo, Black Wildebeest, Eland, Zebra and Kudu are all regularly seen on game drives. Besides the bigger wildlife, there are also smaller species that are not as big, but just as intriguing.
Take a late afternoon safari drive to the water holes of the Blaauwbosch Big Five Private Game Reserve, and watch the setting sun turn the endless Karoo sky from pastel shades of pink and blue to glorious hues of orange and red. The rich, exotic smell of the Karoo bush and the brilliant sunsets will stir a deep passion for Africa within.
