WINTER SEASON

Posted by Touwsrivier Toerisme on 05 August 2024 9:05 AM CAT

ADVENTURE, EXPERIENCE, ACCOMMODATION

Amongst Afrikaans-speaking people is this saying: ‘Waar’s dit lekker?”. Well, I can most certainly answer, Touwsrivier!

Adventuring Through the Karoo

This quaint little railway town is a paradise for adventurous people. The rugged terrain, mountains, and ancient rock formations provide a perfect backdrop for exploration. Winter’s cold temperatures make it an ideal time for hiking, biking, game drives, and off-road adventures.

Cozy Accommodation

After a day of adventure, retreat to welcoming accommodations. From charming guest farms to luxurious lodges, there's a place for every preference. Picture yourself warming up before a roaring fire with a glass of wine while the frosty landscape glistens outside your window.

Stargazing under Winter Skies

One of the Karoo’s most captivating features is its night sky. With minimal light pollution, this region offers some of the best stargazing opportunities. Crisp, clear nights provide the perfect conditions for observing the Milky Way stretching across the sky. Lay back and marvel at the glittering canopy of stars and constellations.

Experience the Art of Knife Forging

For a unique and hands-on experience consider trying your hand at knife forging. This ancient craft offers a fascinating glimpse into knife and dagger making. The process is rewarding and provides a tangible souvenir of your time in Touwsrivier.

Conclusion

Touwsrivier with its winter charm and diverse offerings, is more than just a destination – it's an experience.

Embrace the magic of the Karoo and let it leave an indelible mark on your memory.

After receiving a warm welcome from the Deal family, owners of Gecko Rock Nature Reserve, Mr. Jonathan Deal explained to us when Gecko Rock Nature Reserve was established and their vision going forward.

He is also the author of "Timeless Karoo" and his passion and love for the Karoo is seen through his book. We sat down for a hearty breakfast with the Deal family, making for good conversation and stories.

Media Tour 2024 - Part One

Posted by Touwsrivier Toerisme on 08 May 2024 10:50 AM CAT

Media Educational 2024
Thanks to funding we received from Cape Winelands District Municipality we hosted a Media Educational on 17 & 18 April 2024.

We met up at Kroonplaas Restaurant with two Cape Winelands District Municipality officials ( https://capewinelands.gov.za/), Funmammasa ( https://funmammasa.co.za/) and Andre from Social Media Cape Town (https://socialmediacapetown.wordpress.com/) from the Media.
After a delicious "roosterkoek" and "moerkoffie" breakfast at Kroonplaas Restaurant (https://www.touwsrivertourism.co.za/eat/67-komkyk-restaurant), we departed for Drie Kuilen Nature Reserve ( https://www.driekuilen.co.za/ ).

Lina, Stefan and Lena greeted us and made us feel truly welcomed. We had some time available before the game drive and took our time to book in at the various accommodation available to us. Our accommodation for the night left us speechless. Every appliance you might need is there, even a dishwasher! Have a look: https://www.touwsrivertourism.co.za/stay/70-drie-kuile-nature-reserve

At two o'clock we went with the team from Drie Kuilen on an epic game drive. We had the priviledge to be the first people for a game drive in their new game drive vehicle. Wow! So much comfort, making the views even more spectacular. Vegetation combined with animals made it so much more memorable. However, to me the most spectacular things were the huge rock formations high up in the mountain. I've never seen such pretty rocks! Truly unique and unforgettable... An excursion on its own. We had a lovely picnic at the top, roaming around between these beautiful rocks.
