Timeless karoo – book review

I lived in both Aberdeen and Graaf Reniet many years ago and having left a piece of my heart in the Karoo, I have long admired the book Timeless Karoo by Johnathan Deal.

 

Knowing this, imagine my delight when I got to briefly meet this extraordinary author, talented photographer and owner of Gecko Rock Private Nature Reserve on a media tour earlier this year.

Whilst I don’t yet own my own copy of the book. I’ve been able to dreamingly read through a few pages on my many travels and reminisce back to my favourite memories.

Beautifully illusistrated with the breathtaking photographs taken by Jonathan Deal, and well written text, Timeless Karoo brings the mysteries of the Karoo to life.

Having won the prestigious environmental award, the UK Goldman prize, Timeless Karoo encompasses the vast area of the 6 Karoo regions and shares the history, stories and secrets of these unique areas.

First printed in 2007, you can get your copy of this wonderful coffee table book from Gecko Rock Private Nature Reserve Website.
