Explore the wonders of the Klein Karoo in style with Klein Karoo Day Tours! Guests can experience a whole variety of unforgettable, private tours that take them on an adventure through the natural wonders and hidden gems just waiting to be discovered in the area.
The Klein Karoo Day Tours company is based in Oudtshoorn and was established by Louise and Johan Keller. As owners of the De Denne Country Guest House they realised that their guests wanted a chance to explore the Swartberg Pass without having to worry about driving through the narrow pass on their own.
They then decided to purchase an eight-seater vehicle and employ a registered tour guide to offer their guests an opportunity to explore the Swartberg Pass. The tour has grown in popularity ever since and is now available to guests of surrounding guest houses in Oudtshoorn.
