| | The Klein Karoo has a spectacular landscape fashioned almost entirely by water, with vegetation ranging from lush greenery in the fertile river valleys to short, rugged Karoo plants in the veld. Gorges follow rivers that cut through towering mountains, while breathtakingly steep passes cross imposing terrain. The long, narrow valley is rich in geological shapes, being home to the spectacular Cango Caves, a series of magnificent, glittering limestone caverns fashioned over millennia beneath the foothills of the Swartberg Range. The region also boasts many species of indigenous plants, and is the natural habitat of the largest bird in the world - the ostrich.
However, the region is also profoundly rich in culture and history. The annual Klein Karoo Kunstefees draws thousands of arts lovers to enjoy music, theatre and dance, while Bushman paintings offer a drawcard equally strong. A climate dominated by the sun produces excellent Port wines, honey-sweet fruits, raisins and cheese. |
