The most unbelievable little find! Highly recommended. On par with a London museum. Thank you Bruce and congratulations!

Visiting Karoo Origins in Graaff-Reinet was an absolute delight! This hidden gem is so much more than a museum - it’s a captivating journey through time that beautifully showcases the rich fossil heritage of the Karoo. From the moment you step inside, you can feel the passion and care that has gone into curating each display. The exhibits are thoughtfully presented, informative without being overwhelming and brought to life with fascinating visuals and interactive elements. What stood out to me most was how engaging and knowledgeable the staff were - their enthusiasm for the story of the Karoo’s prehistoric past is contagious! It’s a perfect experience for both adults and children, combining education with genuine wonder. I left feeling inspired, proud of our local heritage and eager to learn even more about this extraordinary landscape and the ancient creatures that once roamed it. Karoo Origins is truly a must-visit for anyone coming to Graaff-Reinet. It’s a world-class experience that celebrates the heart and history of the Karoo in the most remarkable way.

So, there it is. What a truly professional museum. If you coming to the Karoo you will want to understand it's history and what better way than to wander around here. I could carry on. But I leave it up to visitors! What a history and landscape from our evolving planet.

A must see when visiting Graafies. Very well played out and informative. Be sure to grab a toastie when you are there.
