I visited this as the Karoo certainly has its own type of Harsh beauty, and there are certain fauna and flora that you simply dont get anywhere else. It is not for your casual tourist, as you wont get that big game wow factor, but if your serious about natural beaty and rare fauna and flora, and deafening night silence under an amazingly clear night sky, then you'll truly appreciate it's harsh uniqeness

The Fossil Trail is an educational delight framed by the mountains in the background.

My trip was before lion were reintroduced and the Park re-stocked - so game viewing wasn't particularly great. However, the Park itself is beautiful with great accommodation that lifts your spirits.

We stayed in an extremely comfortable and large chalet, surrounded by undisturbed expanses of Karoo. It can get very hot in the day, but thankfully there was a pool to swim in, which was regularly visited by local birds.

We know more or less all the park in SA but had not been to KNP. So off we went , took a leisurely drive from Stellenbosch to the KNP and stayed for 5 days in a well equipped chalet . Knowing more or less all other SA park.s ,we ob visually compared everything with our experience in other parks.
In short: if you are looking for relaxing place, then that is the place for you. It defiantly was for us !
wildlife: much more then we expected, had a Rhino 100 meter in front of us,Lion up the mountain pass and all the other animals and birds.
Scenery: absolutely stunning.
Weather : the way you expect in March
Accommodation: super
Food: very good and plenty full, very friendly staff.
Transportation: very clean and modern car for outdoor drives with a good guide.
Highlights: Our whole stay was a highlight . One of it was a bit more special when we were alone with a ranger at "Doornkoek Picnic|Braai Area ", had a lovely
Read more braai and could ask all the questions only a "Tourist" want to ask .
Summary: We loved it so much that we are now booked in again end of August 2019 , this time even with a longer stay than last time.

What a drive we had through the Karoo - the scenery is outstanding. For camera enthusiasts, you simply don't know which way to focus.
