South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced that renovations have begun on several cottages in Karoo National Park as part of ongoing maintenance efforts. To speed up the process, work will be carried out on two units at a time, with the project expected to be completed in approximately five weeks. We'll keep you posted!
Located near Beaufort West in the Western Cape, Karoo National Park spans approximately 767 km² and showcases the vast, semi-arid beauty of the Great Karoo. The park is home to diverse fauna, including black rhinos, Cape mountain zebras, eland, red hartebeest, and the elusive aardvark, as well as predators like lions and brown hyenas. Birdlife is abundant, with species such as Verreaux’s eagle and the Karoo korhaan. The floral landscape is dominated by hardy, drought-resistant plants like succulents and acacia trees.´
For visitors, Karoo National Park offers a range of accommodation, including self-catering chalets, cottages, and a campsite. Scenic drives, hiking trails, and 4x4 routes provide opportunities to explore the rugged terrain, making it a perfect destination for nature lovers and adventure seekers.
