Accommodation Venue - Karoo National
Park( Game Lodges & Resorts Accommodation in
Karoo National Park / Western Cape / South Africa )
The Great Karoo is a vast and unforgiving landscape
of which the Karoo National Park is but a small portion. Being
the largest ecosystem in South Africa, the Karoo is home to a
fascinating diversity of life, all having adapted to survive in
these harsh conditions. Karoo National Park is dominated by the
lofty Nuweveld Mountains and rolling plains, where many species
that originally occurred here now occupy their former ranges.The
Karoo National Park has a wide variety of endemic wildlife. Many
species have been relocated to their former ranges - such as black
rhino and buffalo, as well as Cape mountain zebra. Over 20 breeding
pairs of black eagle find sanctuary within the park.
