The Best Attractions In Graaff-Reinet

1. Valley of Desolation Graaff Reinet
The Karoo is a semi desert natural region of South Africa. No exact definition of what constitutes the Karoo is available, so its extent is also not precisely defined. The Karoo is partly defined by its topography, geology and climate, and above all, its low rainfall, arid air, cloudless skies, and extremes of heat and cold. The Karoo also hosted a well-preserved ecosystem hundreds of million years ago which is now represented by many fossils.The Karoo formed an almost impenetrable barrier to the interior from Cape Town, and the early adventurers, explorers, hunters, and travelers on the way to the Highveld unanimously denounced it as a frightening place of great heat, great frosts, great floods, and great droughts.

2. Mountain Zebra National Park Cradock
Mountain Zebra National Park is a national park in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa proclaimed in July 1937 for the purpose of providing a nature reserve for the endangered Cape mountain zebra. In the early 1930s, the Cape mountain zebra was threatened with extinction. The National Parks Board of Trustees proclaimed a 17.12 km2 area for the zebra's preservation. The mountain zebra population of the park comprised only five stallions and one mare and was insufficient to expand the population. By 1950 only two stallions remained, and a neighboring farmer, Mr H L Lombard, improved the breeding pool by donating eleven zebra to the park. By 1964, there were only 25 zebra in the park. At this time, the park's size was increased to 65.36 km2 and Paul Michau donated six zebra to the park....

Greater Oudtshoorn Tourism

The towns of Oudtshoorn and De Rust are in the Klein Karoo between the Swartberg and Outeniqua mountains. Oudtshoorn is the ostrich capital of the world. The world's biggest bird is just one of the many attractions in this area of exceptional contrasts and natural beauty.

The region is home to the spectacular Cango Caves, Africa's largest show cave system; an ecological hotspot where three distinct plant biomes (succulent karoo, cape thicket and fynbos) converge; and the Swartberg mountain range, which is part of the Cape Floral World Heritage Site.

Just another drone video I made of our weekend at Mtentu Lodge and Camp on 3-5 August 2018. It was our 2nd time there and magical as always. Few places like this exist nowadays. Unspoiled paradise, free from the complications of modern society. We will go back every chance we get. rough road to get there, but it's so worth the effort.

Check out for more details of our stay. The offer 6 sweet cabins (like the one in the video), communal ablutions, rusti Also, next door is the Mtentu Campsite, tents on platforms already pitched, fridges, boma and lapa ready for family or friends to relax and enjoy life in the slow lane.More kid friendly as we did both with our little ones. Campsite more rustic, however you dictate your own pace. Contact Les on mtentucampsite@gmail.com to inquire about the campsite. Perhaps I should go there again to film it in more detail?
