Surrounded by mountains in the heart of the Great Karoo, Middelburg is unique, yet similar to the average Karoo town.
The area is recognised for its herbal plant life that grows naturally in the fields, and is also one of the few and best places in the world where fossil life has been discovered as well as San Rock Art in caves from the first known human inhabitants, the San Bushmen.
What to do in Middelburg
Scenic beauty is the town’s main asset, with open spaces, Karoo sunsets, star gazing, fresh air and snow-capped mountains during the winter months. It is also home to the popular “Run the Karoo” and “Ride the Karoo” events, and is a popular destination for history enthusiasts of the Anglo-Boer War.
