THE DOME
Situated in the secure CAmdeboo Conservancy
To be in the camdeboo conservancy is to glimpse infinity. For this is a place of silence, stillness and space.
Here where the views unfold forever, The Karoo Dome lies beneath the craggy Camdeboo mountain range,
25 minutes drive from the quaint and historic town of Graaff-Reinet.
Come glamping on a holistically-managed farm in a secure conservancy, 76,000 hectares of natural unspoilt beauty.
Unwinding here means buying a breath of fresh air. It means taking hold of infinity.
Glamping is camping, just more generous.
The Karoo Dome allows you to connect with the serenity of this semi-desert without sacrificing modern comforts.
Whether you are seeking time-out, a peaceful retreat or a unique getaway The Karoo Dome is the perfect destination to relax and soak up ......... the infinity.
