Cape Town to the Karoo: 900km in Pictures

Two days, one bakkie and some of the emptiest tar in the country. A photographic record of the run from the Mother City into the Great Karoo.

A dead-straight empty tar road stretches to the horizon between fences and low flat hills

Ninety kilometres without a single junction.

An empty road winds up through fynbos scrub towards a rugged mountain range

The climb out towards the escarpment.

A glowing tent and campfire in an open field under the Milky Way

Camp for the night, somewhere past Matjiesfontein.

A dense Milky Way over dark hills with a parked 4x4's tail lights glowing in the corner

No light pollution for a hundred kilometres in any direction.
