Travel in a dusty bakkie (pickup truck) with us and visit the little towns of the Karoo during the Festival spring months of September and October.

Listen to the fireside stories of historians, stockmen and shamans at far-flung outposts while the snows fall outside and the wine flows inside.

Wake up – via the pages of their books – on Karoo farms where the most urgent thing you have to do today is sit down to a hearty breakfast at noon.
