Situated approximately 12km from Beaufort West, close to the N1, even though it is the perfect stop-over for travelers between Cape Town and Johannesburg, it has so much more to offer. This destination faces the beautiful Nuweveld Mountains and is a haven of peace and tranquility, allowing guests to experience the forbidding Karoo environment. The park is now home to approximately 63 species of mammals and over 200 species of birds.

Fantastic travel agent for African safari family trip!
Wow! Shann was and is fantastic! She figured out a way to make our entire trip work. We are going on a 2 week trip to South Africa and Botswana. She really helped tie it all together as a wonderful, cohesive trip. She is super nice and super smart and very knowledgeable. She is also flexible and thoughtful, etc., etc. When the chips were down (and we literally were considering pulling the plug on the whole trip), she found a way to make the entire itinerary work and got us excited about our wonderful adventure! Highly recommend!
