Location: South Africa » Northern Cape » KarooThe Karoo has 2 sub regions, the Great Karoo and the Little The Karoo is a semi-desert region of South Africa. It has two main sub-regions - the Great Karoo and the Little Karoo. Great Karoo Currently sheep farming is still the economic backbone of the Great Karoo with other forms of agriculture taking place in areas where irrigation is possible. Lately game farms and tourism have also started to make an economic impact. Little Karoo As the name implies, the Little Karoo is the smaller (and more southerly) of the two Karoo sub-regions. Geographically it is a fertile valley (enclosed by the Swartberg, Langeberg and Outeniqua mountains) that features many spectacular rock formations and passes. The main town of the region is Oudtshoorn, but some well-known mission stations such as Zoar, Amalienstein, Barrydale and Dysselsdorp are also situated here in the Little Karoo Accommodation in and around Route 66 Sandy's Place accommodation in Route 66 Barrydale is the perfect destination, or stopover, for visitors wishing to unwind and relax far removed from the stresses and strains of city life.
