This autumn, Keith Bain of Inside Guide spoke with our South African hosts Jaco and Katja about all things Karoo. They talked about their love of the landscapes, the people and the feeling of time slowing down.
We really love Keith’s approach to slow travel. Here is our favourite extract from the article.
“In an era when everyone seems to know everything in advance, having spied it on Instagram or read reviews on Tripadvisor, it’s glorious not knowing what’s coming next. Apart from the culinary surprises, there’s the joy of not quite knowing where each night will be spent. Like slackpacking, it frees you from all the nitty-gritty hassles, the planning and having to book each component of your trip or worrying where your luggage is. Your focus is entirely on the doing and experiencing rather than on what’s coming next.”
