Welcome to Cape Town South Africa

KAROO LANDSCAPE AND MATJIESFONTEIN

We travel through the scenic Du Toit’s Kloof Mountain Pass and the fertile Slanghoek Valley. Then on to the historic Michell’s Pass to the town of Ceres and its fertile fruit-growing valley. Soon the abundant orchards give way to the arid landscape of the Karoo (the Khoi word for land of thirst) where vast open spaces stretch from one far horizon to the other. Experience the solitude and serenity so unique to this semi-desert of South Africa. Enjoy lunch in the historic and quaint little village of Matjiesfontein. The return journey takes us through the Hex River Valley where autumn brings a kaleidoscope of colours to the lush vineyards. In the Breede River Valley we pass the town of Worcester on our way to the Du Toit’s Kloof Pass heading back to Cape Town. This more direct return route is also used on the outward journey if insufficient time is available.
