Tankwa Karoo National Park

Tankwa Karoo National Park is located just 4 hours north of Cape Town, nestled between the Cederberg and Klein Roggeveld Mountains. The park is particularly known for its great diversity of plant species, many of which are rare and unique. This brings with it a rich bird population, and various antelope species can be spotted, from the rare Cape Mountain zebra to gemsbok and springbok.

It’s the perfect destination for curious nature lovers! After the light winter rains in June and July, the spring months (from August to October) bring a colourful carpet of wildflowers, interspersed with hardy succulents that are found throughout the Karoo year-round. Tankwa Karoo is a place of silence and tranquility. Here, you’ll see dust clouds gently floating across the ancient landscape, and the colour of the earth changes with the position of the sun. In the evening, you can enjoy an endless and awe-inspiring starry sky! Even if you’re not prone to daydreaming, you’ll effortlessly find yourself in a state of meditation here.
