God has created few places on earth as awe inspiring as Kuzuko. Burnt oranges and angry reds interspersed by silver clouds etch the distant Zuurberg Mountains and Karoo plains against the sky as each sunset passes into night. At night the sky becomes a theatre, a window, a kaleidoscope of the best star gazing available on the continent. Kuzuko is a place of glory where one is both humbled and enriched. Days are spent on game drives under the guidance of Kuzuko's game rangers, every minute and experience a lesson, as tales of the Karoo's delicate eco system unfold.
