Welcoming in it's vastness of sky and land, mile after mile of exquisite plant life and geological formations, Karoo, is one of South Africa's crowning glories. The isolation, stillness, only broken at the turn of windmills on a breeze of glorious fresh, clear air, then, as night descends, you become part of the Milky Way, so close, reachable by finger tips, what's not to love in all it's majesty.

I love your pictures,especially of Matjiesfontein.I worked there 3 times and loved every minute.The residents are so friendly and helpful.It is a big pity that David Rawdon is no longer around to see his village become what it is today.Its just the prices of the hotel that must be reduced.Matjiesfontein,may you prosper for later generations....
Die mooiste plek op aarde MAAR nie vir sussies nie EN jy moet daar gebore en getoë wees daar grootword langs die ou Buffelsrivier en duwweltjies (dorings) in die voete hé... Fluit vir die windpomp om bietjie water te gee...
Thank you. Spent all my school holidays on a third generation family sheep farm near Colesberg, now a wonderful game reserve. Left SA 50 years ago, but karroo never forgotten.
France is 643,800 sq.km. in size, the Karoo only 395,000 sq. km. so it's definitely not twice the size of France - and it covers one-third of the surface area of South Africa.
do you know karoo is the name of french mountains in south of the country? the french huguenots named this mountain like their own in france so caroux, excuse my english
That is amazing insight. I have read that the name Karoo is suspected to come from the indigenous peoples, meaning 'land of thirst'. This French Hugonot meaning however makes more sense.
@@blondefire79 maybe it come from koi koi language but it is not similar,the french caroux is a country with a lot of huguenots,i know during wars religion many of them flee to south africa,th-cam.com/video/liJBkLlG188/w-d-xo.html enjoy
Im from Cape Town and I just returned from the Karoo, the bug has bit me, definitely one of the most awe inspiring places. A place of beauty.
I´ve never been in a place that has made me feel so small or humble. We travelled 65 kms one day and did not see a single person and only three cars.
