Karoo Travels – Karoo National Park – Chapter VI (Final Chapter)

Karoo Trip – Episode I
Mountain Zebra Park “Right – a break in the bush it is then,” I exclaimed with relief as we folded the last of the maps, and swept up the shattered remnants of the piggy bank. With the imminent World Cup … Continue reading
