unforgiving, but to those who know it, it is a land of secret beauty
and infinite variety.” - Eve Palmer“At first encounter the

KLEIN KAROO
Escape to nature at Aardvark Bioreserve, just 3.5 hours from Cape Town. More than just a game reserve, we are dedicated to protecting and preserving biodiversity, including the region’s unique succulent ecosystem.
Our commitment to sustainable tourism offers authentic experiences—from luxury accommodation and organic produce to immersive game drives, where you can discover diverse wildlife within the extraordinary Succulent Karoo Biome.
Enjoy exclusive access to world-class MTB and hiking trails, then unwind in your private wood-fired hot tub beneath the breathtaking Karoo night sky.
We are passionate about conservation, sustainability, our local community, and offering you the chance to experience the Klein Karoo in all its natural splendour.
Replace the city lights with the awe-inspiring expanse of the Milky way and reconnect with nature. Stay in any of our beautiful off-the-grid cottages, each with a wood-fired hot tub, luxury linen and a fully equipped kitchen.
Fill your day exploring the reserve on our hiking and mountain bike trails and enjoy ‘sun-downers’ as the sun sets over the Swartberg mountains.
Enjoy our organic farm-to-table products such as vegetables, fruit and fresh herbs.
Relax, recharge and enjoy the sights and sounds of the Klein Karoo.
