On This Page:Oudtshoorn and the Klein Karoo Travel Guide
The Klein (Little) Karoo—a sun-drenched area about 250km (155 miles) long and 70km (43 miles) wide—is wedged between the coastal mountains that separate it from the Garden Route and the impressive Swartberg mountain range in the north. To reach it from any angle, you have to traverse precipitous mountain passes, the most spectacular of which is the Swartberg Pass, connecting the Klein Karoo with its big brother, the Great Karoo. Unlike this vast dry land that stretches well into the Northern Cape and Free State, the "little" Karoo is watered by a number of streams that flow down from the mountains to join the Olifants River. Grapes grow here (Calitzdorp produces some of the country's best port), as does lucerne (alfalfa), which is why farmers in the region were able to successfully introduce the ostrich—lucerne is a favorite food of the ostrich.
