Nearby Attractions

  • The Great Karoo straddles the 30° S parallel on the west of the continent, in a similar position to other semi-desert areas on earth, north and south of the equator. It is furthermore in the rainfall shadow of the Cape Fold Mountains along the western coastline. The western "Lower Karoo" (the Tankwa Karoo and Moordenaarskaroo) contain remnants of the Cape Fold Mountains (e.g. the Witteberg and Anysberg Mountains) which give it a moderate hilly appearance; but further east the Lower Karoo becomes a monotonously flat plain. The "Upper Karoo" has been intruded by dolerite sills (see below), creating multiple flat topped hills, or "Karoo Koppies", which are iconic of the Great Karoo.
  • The vegetation of the Upper and Lower Karoo is similar, so that few people make a distinction between the two.

Area Info

The Karoo, from a Khoikhoi word, possibly garo "desert" is a semi-desert natural region of South Africa.

There is no exact definition of what constitutes the Karoo, and therefore its extent is also not precisely defined.

The Karoo is partly defined by its topography, geology and climate — 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.
