After two days at the Karoo National Park, we hit the R61 towards Ganora Guest Farm, near Nieu Bethesda. We knew nothing about the farm except that there were fossils within its premises. At the farm we discovered a wealth of fossil discoveries and adventure.
On 10 April 2013, travel writer Dale Morris began his two-week roadtrip to South African pre-historic life fossil sites. I tagged along in attempt to learn more about the world of travel journalism. Our first stop was Karoo National Park.
