Description
This 3-day safari to the Karoo is the one for you if you have a group of 4-6 men who wish to experience the desert and the human bonding of a hunt. Start from Cape Town and travel via Wellington and the Bain's Distillery, Bain's Kloof Pass and Worcester to the Hunting Reserve near Touwsrivier. Barbeque, drink and share stories in the company of an Angolan War Veteran. Stargazing is stunning as there is no city glare.
