Prepare for a thrilling 5-day Overland Tour into the Tankwa Karoo’s heart, a region we’ve become intimately familiar with over countless visits. Its breathtaking landscapes beckon us back time and again, and we’re eager to show you the vast valleys and miles of spellbinding scenery that await.
Our journey treads off the conventional paths onto gravel, twee-spoor, and trails through the mountains and sands, requiring a vehicle that can handle the rough—either a 4×4 or 4×2 with high clearance, towing an off-road camper if you wish. The campsites we’ve chosen are unadorned and deeply immersed in nature, with a few offering the raw beauty of completely wild camping, without any amenities. These are our well-kept secrets, places we’ve returned to repeatedly for their unparalleled solitude and beauty.
Our departure is at the crack of dawn from Clanwilliam, swiftly transitioning from paved roads to the rugged terrain that defines this adventure. Spanning approximately 900 kilometers round trip from Cape Town, we navigate the Tankwa Karoo’s core, concluding four days later in Ceres. Along the way, we’ll explore two nature reserves, soaking in the vast expanses of the Karoo and uncovering its secluded wonders.
This excursion is self-sufficient, encouraging a spirit of independence and camaraderie. We’ll offer a suggested menu as the departure date draws near. Since opportunities to purchase provisions are sparse, be sure to pack enough firewood for the initial segment of the trip, and stock up on all necessities beforehand to avoid any shortages.
Embrace the rugged beauty and the whispering silence of the Karoo with us. This isn’t just a trip; it’s a chance to disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with the wild, creating memories that will resonate long after our return. Secure your spot and prepare for an adventure that promises both tranquility and excitement in equal measure.
This is a great adventure and we would love to share it with you!
