What a wonderful place.. Don't just drive through at speed from North to South, or vice versa, pull off into a dirt road, 1km away from the highway, stop, smell listen, and at night, look up...you will never forget it.. Life is too short, we are always rushing to somewhere, we don't see anymore, like horses with blinkers on ( for those that know what that is 🙄 )
There is no place on earth like the Karoo, and the Karoo people...
Very nice video, well done. Greetings from Hermanus. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
After my divorce in 2010 I decided to do a two week road trip by myself and chose the Karoo as my husband and I had never travelled there and I wanted to go somewhere to create new memories for myself. It was the most amazing trip and certainly was spiritual (not in the religious sense). I stayed in little B&Bs and met lots of the local people who were all so welcoming and lovely. Besides, that, the sky was the most amazing blue I'd ever seen, and the wide open spaces were just what my soul needed. I will definitely visit again someday.
I grew up in the small town of Noupoort in the centre of the Great Karoo. As kids in the 1960s our joy was to climb all the mountains. Oppermanskop was the highest. Towards the north there was a mountain referred to as "the old volcano". We often trekked there and you could get to the top if you knew the correct trail. On the way, we found the strangest rocks. Rocks with clear lizard images and rocks with huge teeth. At the time (probably due to popular comics) we thought that must have come from a sabre-tooth tiger. Only much later did I realise that would have been the tooth of a gargantuan dinosaur. My point is: in that area, fossils are just laying around for the picking.
Extremely enjoyable. As I get older and relish quieter places and times, the Karoo becomes more and more attractive to the point where I dream of it. When I go back home, I will spend considerable time there.
Karoo is my place to relax and gate away from big city life .
Nice history
Beautiful
This is a very revealing documentary, I must comment yet again before it ends :D The statue garden of that lady is very conspicuous with those owls, statues facing east...and that figure flexing it's back doing the bridge...reminds me of one of the crime scenes of an american serial killer (Bundy?), I'm not suggesting anything but it sure is interesting!
The Great Karoo is much bigger than the red area on your map, that was more the Little Karoo. Great Karoo almost the whole of Northern Cape Province & parts of Western & Eastern Cape Provinces.
This is great, and *don’t anyone interact with that or any “wanna be friends?” Just block/report! It’s a hacking thing through interaction!*

Talking BS. Millions of years jargon. Jesus was the Creator. Young earth. Praise His mighty name.
Stop glorifying colonialism.
He's telling one of the sides of the story, if you want to hear only one of the sides than you like to be lied to! Nobody is demonizing anyone here, but if it was shown side by side with what is today state of affairs, uncomfortable observations would have to be made. Like "Once in power they ruined it ALL!" but that is a thought crime right? White are bad, black are good 🙈🙉🙊
It doesn't need to be "glorified", it's already glorious.
