Very remote but Karroo had an exceptional amount of fossils which is really cool if that is your thing otherwise we mostly just saw Impala

Great time in a very well run park

We found the scenery to be spectacular. Everything I expected of the Karoo. We saw lions and a variety of wildlife but the carrying capacity of a semi desert environment meant that wildlife was scarce. The staff are well dressed, friendly and efficient. The buildings are spotless. A big compliment to management who obviously run the park with great committment and dedication.

Certainly a great place to spend 2 or 3 days.

Karoo National Park is a scenic gem in the heart of the arid Karoo. Wildlife is quite limited and mostly comprises various antelope species but it has a unique character and fascination. Accommodation is typical National Parks self catering chalets and there is an on-site restaurant. A fossil trail and various guided and unguided walks are available. It can get very hot in summer.

Very quaint Chalets , along the rise ,facing towering Mountains and Valleys.
Dinosaur walk , plant Identification walk. It is the Park most used by tourists , coming from the Cape or going to!
But a short stay will yield many bird and animal species

Our morning in the Mountain Zebra Park was great, there is not as many animals as in the north of the country but I was surprised to see so many.
There is less animals but there is also less tourists, we went in November and we were nearly the only ones in the park which was a much appreciated luxury.
