This is the perfect book to take on a Karoo road trip. All the towns, all the links and a great visual sense of adventure. It’s definitely our new travel companion. It also makes for wonderful armchair travel.

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to say thanks to you both for the wonderful “book” 101 Karoo Towns.
Not only did it cover some old favourites but has also given me a whole new list of places to visit. Thanks for doing what you do!

The ebook 101 Karoo Towns reveals countless nuggets of intrigue. Did you know, for instance, there was once a shoot-out on the steps of the church in Aberdeen, or that Hanover’s church used to have lights powered by methane from sheep droppings? That Jagersfontein’s mines were the source of gangster Al Capone’s favourite diamonds or that Sir David Attenborough came to Nieuwoudtville to film parts of his documentary The Private Life of Plants?
If you enjoy reading about the quaint and the quirky, the weird and the wonderful of our Karoo heartland, you’ll love going along for the virtual ride with Chris and Julie.

Dear Chris and Julienne,
A couple of weeks ago we bought your ebook “101 Karoo Towns”. Just want to let you know that we enjoyed (and still enjoy) browsing in it – excellent pictures, and short but informative and enjoyable texts – the perfect preparation for our Karoo tour which we’ll start in a few days!
German travel guides authors don’t write much about this fascinating area – they probably find the scenery boring … We however don’t, we are looking forward to experience the vast land and the open skies!
Kind regards,
Jürgen and Ilse May
