Nestled away in the heart of the klein Karoo, Sutherland is known as the “gateway to the universe”, home to the largest telescope in South Africa – S.A.L.T.

I just have tell everyone about a little place 2 hours from Cape Town called Beaverlac. We went to it this weekend and loved every moment.

The campsite is divided up into about 4 areas (so plenty of room). There is a more...
