Easter in the Karoo



Filed under : Hot Spots

Bunnies are common in the Karoo, they hop across the roads as we drive, but an Easter Bunny ?
The Karoo is not traditionally a place to go to to enjoy Easter, but just think of that crowded beach.
This could be your opportunity to enjoy your first South African Karoo Easter.

The droves of cars streaming into Cape Town, Durban
and other coastal towns attests to South Africa’s traditional
Easter season preferences. This on the other hand may be just
the reason why the Karoo could be the ideal place for a really
good Easter long weekend break break.

 

From a weather point of view, the Karoo
offers an almost guaranteed period of sunshine. On the
contrary,be prepared for temperatures well into the 30′s. If you
are a sun lover and just crave the heat of the day on you back,
then the Karoo is the place. The biggest plus of all; with all
the crowds fighting for parking at 4th Beach Clifton and
Durban’s Ishaka Waterworld, the Karoo offers a park anywhere, go
anywhere and don’t even worry to lock. There’s no-one for miles
and with zero crime, the net result is a real mental and
physical break. The comment that the Karoo is boring comes to mind. Is it really?

The Karoo is a 4×4 challenge, a hikers dream, a birders paradise, a botanists adventure, a game
drive speciality, a food and wine connouseur’s delight and heaven for those who just want
to chill, read a book and catch up on a years lost sleep in the city.
Easter in the Karoo may be just what you need and are looking for.
