GRAAFF-REINET'S BIG 5

1. AFRIKANIS RUM ROOM

Visit the Afrikanis Rum Room to taste pure Karoo craft rum inspired by Africa. Lien Jooste will welcome you for a tasting and merch sales between 11:00 - 20:00. The shop is open from 8:00 in the morning and located inside Hello You Restaurant, 52 Somerset Street. 
This is bound to be your best experience in Graaff-Reinet. 

2. KAROO VELD SOIREE

Be sure to contact Karoo360 for an exclusive Karoo veld soiree. Camp, climb, hike, bike, dine, astronomy... name it and it can be organised. For a hands-on, unique experience of the Karoo surrounding Graaff-Reinet and Nieu-Bethesda, contact the Karoo360 team. 

3. VALLEY OF DESOLATION

It goes without saying that a visit to Graaff-Reinet is not complete without a sundowner at the Cathedral of the Mountains, the impressive dolerite rock pillars at the Valley of Desolation inside the Camdeboo National Park.  

4. SLEEP UNDER THE STARS

There is a good reason why the Karoo is deemed as a dark sky destination. Sleep out under the stars with all the luxuries, including a 3-course Karoo meal next to the fire.
