Enjoy authentic Karoo hospitality with liberal lashings of culture and history at the Laingsburg Flood Museum.
On 25 January 1981, the Karoo changed forever. The little town of Laingsburg was hit by what continues to be one of the most dramatic natural disasters ever to have happened in South Africa, the Laingsburg Flood. The tragedy and destruction that this caused could not easily be forgotten by those who experienced it, but is also immortalised in the Laingsburg Flood Museum, which is situated in the town of the same name, deep in the Western Cape Province and the Great Karoo.
The Snake Eagle Thinking Path in Matjiesfontein is the first permanent geoglyph created as part of the Karoo Geoglyph Project.
The impressive structure – and meander – is in honour of a breeding pair of Black Chested Snake Eagles who are resident in the area. The drawing measures at 170m x 57m, and the continuous line covers a distance of 1536m.
A town stuck in time, this popular train stop is most well-known for its Lord Milner hotel serving up great breakfast and ghost stories.
Try a fun and different way to explore the town’s rich history with VoiceMap – a self-guided walking tour of the town (virtual tour also available). Simply download the app (it’s free) on Google Play or Apple Store – or use the QR code – it uses your location to play audio automatically and includes offline maps. Just put on your headphones and you’re ready to explore and learn about the different facets of Matjies’s history.
The Boer War Blockhouse located in Laingsburg at the Geelbek River railway bridge was built in 1902 by the British. In 1965, this guard tower, used as a defense against the Boers, was declared a National Monument.
The Laingsburg area saw plenty of action during the Anglo Boer War, as a result several Blockhouses were constructed in the region as a means to manage the movements of the Boers, who brought warfare and strife into the territory controlled by the British Colonial Authorities.
The Area also caters extensively for outdoor enthusiasts. There are a number of Hiking Trails; including the 24 km ‘Klipkraal Route’ which is along the crest of the Swartberg and the 16 km’ Verlorenhoek Trail’ as well as, a hike designed specially for bird fanatics at ‘Kraankop Farm’.
Other trails:

Experience this 11.7-km out-and-back trail near Laingsburg, Western Cape. Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 3 h 9 min to complete. This trail is great for hiking and running, and it’s unlikely you’ll encounter many other people while exploring.
Buffelsrivier Trail
Walk in the Karoo’s own canyon, the Buffels River, as it meanders through desolate yet unique terrain in the Moordenaarskaroo. Experience the fauna, flora, geology and history of this unspoilt area.
The hike starts at 700m above sea level outside Laingsburg and ends at 1712m on top of the Komsberg south of Sutherland with views as far as the Cederberg and Klein Roggeveld.
Between Laingsburg and Touws River you’ll find the Witteberg Private Nature Reserve and in that the Diep en Deur 4×4 trail which is a bundle of fun.
This 15km trail is only one of four in the reserve and at the halfway point you’ll find wonderful views of the Matroosberg peak. You’ll need a vehicle with 4×4 capabilites, low range and high clearance because this trail takes between four and five hours to complete with a difficulty grading of three.

One of the wonderful gems of the Western Cape Province of South Africa is Buffelspoort. This is a pristine wilderness area that is also a formal Natural Heritage site, thanks to its abundance and beauty. The trail is less than 40 kilometres from Laingsburg, which is a small town in the Groot Karoo.
The Buffelspoort Rubicon 4×4 Trail is only 12 kilometres long, but takes between six and eight hours to complete, thanks to the very challenging terrain that consists of mud, water, rocks and sand.

Josephskraal Trail is 40 km from Laingsburg and offers a circular route suitable for 4×2 vehicles with diff-lock. High clearance vehicles are required.

The Moordenaarskaroo sort of lies between Laingsburg, Sutherland and Merweville, but it does not include any of these towns. Merweville and Laingsburg are in the Koup while Sutherland is in the Roggeveld. So the Moordenaarskaroo is just this townless area, a mysterious space, almost like the Burmuda triangle.
It’s a desolate and barren place, but if you love the Karoo this is a must see!
It is said that about 60km from Laingsburg the area is haunted. Strange grey shapes and shadows constantly appear and disappear in parts of the veld in this area of the Moordenaarskaroo. And, weirdest of all, they appear even in broad daylight.
The scenery here is amazing. It’s barren and lonely, and yet breathtakingly beautiful
We have several hiking trails and 4×4 routes available at Oskopvlakte.
One of the biggest events held in Laingsburg yearly is the Karoo Ultra Marathon, which consist on a 10, 21 and 80 km run. One of its greatest assets being Seweweekspoort, could best be described as a living portrait.

The Mayor of Laingsburg Mr. Wilhelm Theron started this yearly event to raise funds for underprivileged Laingsburg Matriculants who want to further themselves with higher education.
