We went on a trip through the Karoo in July 2021. From Hutchison we took this route to Strydenburg..
We deciced to first go to the small Loxton for some sightseeing.
Loxton is one of those surprising and unusual Karoo villages lucky enough to have experienced a transformation of fortune. Twenty years ago the village, in common with so many small towns across the Karoo, was in decline with many of its residents moving away to the big cities to seek their fortunes – or at least a living. Many of the old cottages and houses fell into disrepair and, other than the grand Dutch Reformed Church in the centre square of the village, it started to look a bit tattered and run-down.
In recent years, however, Loxton has become a sought-after and almost trendy Karoo village, a place where artists can exercise their creativity and it is the ideal village to relax and unwind from the stresses of modern city life. Many of Loxton’s most recent residents have in fact turned their backs on the frenetic and stressful life in the city and have chosen a more peaceful and tranquil existence in the tranquillity of the wide-open spaces of the Karoo.

Peace remains a goal for introspective individuals around the world. The lifelong search for inner peace challenges us to learn more about ourselves.
“Nature is one of the most underutilized treasures in life. It has the power to unburden hearts and reconnect to that inner place of peace.” – Janice Anderson
The mountain, has no daily sources of stress such as road noise, crowds, ringing phones and wireless networks, and this means that the soul can finally exhale and the mind comes to rest. Here, when you have time alone, you can finally reconnect with yourself in the calm of listening to silence and find peace.
