KAROO 3 PEAKS CHALLENGE

Take up the challenge and hike the three highest peaks in the Sneeuberg surrounding the historic town of Graaff-Reinet over the course of three days. 

Visitors to the Karoo are often surprised by the variety of landscapes, the incredible stark beauty

and the sense of place. The Karoo is all of that and more. It is a vast landscape with infinite

potential for exploring. It is both remote and accessible. The towns and villages abound with

artists and artisans, warm-hearted hospitality and incredible attractions. It is also a place where

hikers can experience the freedom of lesser known (and high) mountain peaks and the

camaraderie that only a well-organised hiking tour can offer.

The Karoo 3 Peaks Challenge is proud to showcase this awakening of the Karoo to the outside

world. The tour carries a strong adventure theme to compliment the intimate exploration of the

Great Karoo around Graaff-Reinet. All three peaks range above 2 000 metres above sea level and

offer the hiker a real challenge. Toorberg, Nardousberg and Compassberg all form part of the

majestic Sneeuberg Mountain Range, with Compassberg being the second highest mountain in

the Eastern Cape as well as the highest peak in the Karoo (and according to geography boffins,

the second highest peak in the country outside the Drakensberg/Stormberg complex).

The unbelievable scenery is matched only by the warm hospitality.
