Gariep Dam Village was voted tourist town of the year in 2010. Exciting and yet crime free.
It is the ideal place to break your journey and enjoy the most beautiful surroundings as well as the crisp clean air of the Great Karoo. Ideal for the weary travellers or those wanting to break away from the city rush. Take a minute to look up at the clear night skies and realize that this is truly a special place. Trillions of stars, see the milky way and hear the silence and enjoy.
