Route 62 and the Little Karoo

An inland, often mountainous alternative to the Garden Route, with some of the most dramatic passes and valleys in the country, and some genuine frontier villages. From pretty towns such as Worcester, and Tulbagh, along with the jewel-like McGregor and the spa-town of Montagu, to the Little Karoo; an expansive hinterland whose name means 'hard and dry' in the Khoi language.

The tourist capital of the Little Karoo is Oudtshoorn the Ostrich capital of South Africa, and the magnificent Cango Caves the spectacular underground wonderland of the Little Karoo.
