Towards late afternoon, the great, unyielding canopy slowly softens its fierceness, and from pastel shades of pink and blue, the colours deepen, setting the endless Karoo canvas ablaze with glorious hues of orange and red. 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.
The Karoo National Park has been restocked with many species being relocated to their former ranges and now brown hyena, lion and Cape mountain zebra roam the Karoo once again. Other species include Red Hartebeest, Black Wildebeest, Eland, Kudu, Springbok and Klipspringer and birding is dominated by the 20 breeding pairs of black eagle that find sanctuary within the park. Other valued sighting include the Karoo Korhaan, Ludwig’s Bustard, Chestnut-vented Tit-babbler, and Namaqua Sandgrouse should also be looked for.
