Destination: Karoo

While the rest of South Africa is still reeling from the social and economic effects in the aftermath of strict levels of lockdown, things are slowly turning back to normal and we can say with certainty that the Karoo is booming with travelers as provincial borders have opened and leisure travel is allowed.

While South Africa is still in the midst of a pandemic, the Karoo with vast open spaces and slow, safe living has become the perfect destination for travel.

I’m sure that any South African will tell you that the specific part which they inhabit, where they were raised hold some form of magic for each and everyone, but the Karoo truly has the ability to regenerate a person’s wellbeing.

Health retreats are becoming more and more popular in the Karoo due to that very fact. Society has become completely urbanized and it’s especially those that are unable to switch off from the fast moving pace that finds the slow, easy living of the Karoo tempting, even if it is just for a week.

To inhale the clean, fragrant air of the Karoo should be considered a privilege to all that lives here. Drinking fresh, unspoiled water from a Karoo wind pump is something very few people will ever get to experience.

Enjoying the Milky Way and clear starry nights together with your loved ones seems to be on everyone’s bucket list these days.

Exploring the natural semi desert habitat where you can walk for miles without encountering any people will obviously have an effect on your body, but mostly an effect on your mind.

Amid the stressful time we find ourselves in at the moment, we heartily invite you to visit and explore Sweetfontein with its magical charm and all the activities we have on offer for your annual rejuvenation.
