A journey to timeless Karoo desert destinations sets the scene for participation in serene outdoor activities including nature walks, meditation, star-gazing and plenty of rest and relaxation.
A small, exclusive wellness tour
As the health travel specialists in South Africa, Time out of Time has carefully selected each destination on its own merit and has effectively combined wellness with mainstream tourism.
Limited numbers of six guests per tour ensure a small, intimate, manageable group, all intent on achieving physical and spiritual wellness.
A tour overview
The five-day tour begins with a romantic train trip from Cape Town to the quaint railway village of Matjiesfontein via the Trans Karoo Express, allowing guests to unwind and interact in a relaxed, informal setting.
As the days go by, the journey penetrates deeper into the Karoo with the enchanting town of Prince Albert making way for a remote and secluded valley in the Gamkaskloof, a wilderness area rich in animal and bird life.
The slow progression from the bright lights of the city into the wilderness of South Africa's largest semi-desert enables guests to shed anxieties and stress in a slow yet steady manner, providing a studied approach to holistic healing.
