GUIDES
|
Calitzdorp, overlooking a valley that spills like a Horn of Plenty from the Swartberg foothills, is the fruit-bowl of Kannaland and source of South Africa's finest port wines. If the Klein Karoo or Kannaland of old is still alive, then its spirit is here, lingering perhaps in some vista of loft-doored cottages up to their cheeks in orchard bloom. For nowhere is the authentic character of a Klein Karoo community and the unique architecture of the region better preserved. In the spectacular mountains that shelter Calitzdorp on three sides, nature too, seems unspoiled by the twentieth century. Awaiting the ecology-minded explorer is a wealth of flora, fauna and geological fascination. No wonder that so many visitors stay longer than they intended, soaking up the region's beauty.
