After breakfast depart Kimberley. We are now in the region known as the Karoo. The first impression of this arid land is that it seems endless. It stretches from one horizon to another. The average rainfall is between 100 and 150mm per year.
Farms are huge and far apart.
The main activities are mutton, wool and mohair farming. We drive through a small village with dust streets, before reaching the oasis of the Karoo, Beaufort West. After a short stop continue through Meiringspoort, a huge split in the mountain we found ourselves in the Little Karoo. The Little Karoo is the territory between the Swartberge in the north and the Outeniqua Mountian in the south. The Little Karoo has a width of 60 km and 250 km from north to south.
