Our Karoo Blog

As a farmer's wife living in the Karoo area just outside Prince Albert, I have experienced a world of difference compared to our previous home in the Boland. Moving to this dry area has taught me so much about the resilience of people and the land.

The Karoo is a vast, arid region in South Africa, known for its rugged beauty and unforgiving landscape. Despite the challenges, it has been home to farmers for generations, who have adapted to the harsh conditions and made a living from the land.

Living in the Karoo is a unique experience, especially for those who choose to reside on a farm outside Prince Albert. Grootwaterval, one such farm, offers travelers an idyllic lifestyle that is hard to find elsewhere.
