Beaufort West
Karoo

The real touristic highlight of Beaufort West is the Karoo National Park, 10 kilometres outside of town. The nature and game park was established in 1979 and now it protects 80.000 hectares of grandiose Karoo landscape with the original vegetation and wildlife for example: buffalo, rhino, mountain Zebra, caracle and Black Eagle. Beautiful hiking trails lead through the park, or one can just take the car for safari drives. An interesting must-see, is the Fossile Path, because the area is very rich in palaeontological findings, actually being one of the richest stone-age sites in the world.
