Nestled in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, Graaff-Reinet is the

country’s fourth oldest magisterial district. It is home to over 220 heritage sites,

including various houses, buildings and farms, which reveal the town’s journey

through time. The town is situated within the Great Karoo and is thus surrounded

by natural beauty, rich in fauna and flora.

Graaff-Reinet experiences little rainfall as the Great Karoo is considered a

semi-desert region. Arid air and cloudless skies are typical of this area, as are

great heat and frosts. Daytime is typically warm, while nighttime and early

mornings can become cool, even in summer months. This climate results in

a very particular landscape, dotted with xerophytic vegetation.
