Activities and Attractions

Graaff-Reinet, a town that will capture your heart, is situated on the banks of the Sunday River and was originally a trading post from the Cape Colony. Graaff-Reinet is an attractive town steeped in history with interesting architecture, an art gallery and a museum. The town has more than 200 heritage sites, so there's lots of history to be explored such as the imposing Dutch Reformed church that presides over the quaint Karoo Heartland town.

The Great Karoo with Graaff-Reinet as the heart is a natural wonder, full of wonderful rocky outcrops, ridges and cliffs with a landscape characterised by low rainfall, arid air and cloudless skies and a rich ecosystem. The Karoo is a land of extremes, the winter days are crisp and cold with blue skies and bright sunshine while nights are clear with wonderful starlit skies. In summer, it is hot and sunny, which is occasionally interrupted by spectacular thunderstorms.

The clear night skies offer some of the best star gazing in the world. Attractions include a visit to the Hester Rupert Art Museum, bird watching with the Graaf Reinet Bird Club, watch a show at the John Rupert Theatre, a visit to the Valley of Desolation and a Spandau Kop walk.
