Our morning in the Mountain Zebra Park was great, there is not as many animals as in the north of the country but I was surprised to see so many.
There is less animals but there is also less tourists, we went in November and we were nearly the only ones in the park which was a much appreciated luxury.

I visited this as the Karoo certainly has its own type of Harsh beauty, and there are certain fauna and flora that you simply dont get anywhere else. It is not for your casual tourist, as you wont get that big game wow factor, but if your serious about natural beaty and rare fauna and flora, and deafening night silence under an amazingly clear night sky, then you'll truly appreciate it's harsh uniqeness

The Fossil Trail is an educational delight framed by the mountains in the background.

My trip was before lion were reintroduced and the Park re-stocked - so game viewing wasn't particularly great. However, the Park itself is beautiful with great accommodation that lifts your spirits.

The landscape is gorgeous and the accommodations are lovely - all have a great view of the buttes at sunset. Lions have been reintroduced into the park now.

The Karoo is a unique biome and if you enjoy the spectacular peace and quiet of the semi desert with its abundance of specially adapted plants, animals and insects this is for you. Nice pool and good restaurant - and some ancient fossils on display.
