"Ok throughout, restaurant servie and quality could be improved."
"Peaceful area in a remote place."
"Karoo national park is a fantastic place to camp as there is so much to see and to do.<br/>The place is well kept and clean and can accommodate overnight campers as well as more than one night campers."
"A comfortable cabin accommodation with magnificent views of the high veldt. Excellent meals provided by pleasant staff. Check in staff somewhat brusque. Fascinating area geographically. A two-wheel car is OK for some extensive driving but a four-wheel gives wider accessibility to where most of the animals are. However with a two-wheel we still saw some epic mountain zebras, red hartbeest etc. The twilight game drive was fun."
"adequate and clean accommodation<br/>food poor"
"Our first but not last visit to the Karoo National Park. The Park officials were polite and friendly. The amenities were clean and tidy. The camp was well maintained and practically laid out. The experience was like visiting home away from home. The faura and fauna was just great; intricate in its simplicity. Well done with the pass construction, this deserves a public accolade and some statistics would be interesting.<div>David & Vaun Weir</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div>"

"This is a fabulous place! Our family stayed in a 2-bedroom cottage. Clean, excellent pool and friendly staff. On top of that the magic of the Karoo and the incredible view - such a great place. Will be back to stay for longer."
"So beautiful and stunning nature. I have been in many parks and this one belongs in my top five.Need a high seating 4x4 to enjoy it for 100%. The accommodation is just fantastic. The restaurant is very good."
"A thoroughly enjoyable stay. The accommodation was excellent and the cottages more than adequately equipped. I think the restaurant could be improved on with a "healthier" offering, fruit, yoghurt and healthy cereals for breakfast and a fresher "not stewed to death" vegetable & salad offering for dinner. What about a good bobotie? An always delicious dinner dish in cold weather.I think that that there should be a ranger on duty each day to give information and advice on the National Park and its flora and fauna. Some of the road signage was unclear and confusing and at each intersection it would help to have all directions sign posted. All in all a great stay and we will be back!"
"A warm, friendly welcome, professional service, excellent dinner, spotless and comfortable accommodation, good breakfast. The night sky was awesome, never seen so many stars with such clarity. A bonus was the wildlife seen. An absolute must stop over. Will definitely be returning."
"Karoo National Park must be commended for the neatness of the park and facilities and excellent customer service. Well done and keep it like that!"
"An excellent stay and park drive."
"What a surprise! Perfect accomadation, professional ranger, great nature."
"Zeer mooie huisjes die perfect in de omgeving geïntegreerd zijn. Schitterend zicht op de omliggende heuvels. Avondsafari is een aanrader, goeie gidsen. Het restaurant is oké maar zou iets beter georganiseerd kunnen worden."
"We had a wonderful stay. The staff are wonderful, breakfast more than adequate and very peaceful and relaxing."
"The Karoo National Park is somewhere that everyone should visit. The stark beauty cannot be described. The park is well run and clean. We saw large herds of gemsbok, kudu, zebra and other animals. We experienced a puncture, but Patricia at reception sent out a rescue party and made sure we were okay. All the staff were helpful and friendly. A wonderful visit and we will be back."
"Thank you to the very friendly staff for the beautiful and peaceful days in Karoo National Park. The chalet was clean, fully equipped and furnished in a beautiful African style. The breakfast was nice."
"This was a very nice experience, the silence of no traffic was heaven. Chalets was clean and spacious. I would like to say thank you to JD the game ranger who assisted with the night drive. Although we did not see a lot of animals it was still wonderful."
