Karoo National Park
The Karoo National Park is in the Great Karoo. The Karoo is a vast and unforgiving landscape that is the largest ecosystem in South Africa. It is home to a fascinating diversity of life that has adapted to survive in harsh conditions.
Wide-open spaces, majestic dolerite cliffs, and utter tranquillity await you at Karoo National Park which is conveniently located just outside Beaufort West. Off the N1 Karoo National Park lies the unique Karoo Basin with its largely unbroken 50-million-year fossil record. Discover the ancient Karoo and view real fossils on the 400m Fossil Trail.
There are 24 award-winning camping and caravan campsites in a green oasis within the rugged Karoo environment with communal ablutions (shower and baths) and kitchen facilities. brianvdw@sanparks.org
