Tankwa Karoo National Park is a national park in South Africa. The park lies about 70 km due west of Sutherland near the border of the Northern Cape and Western Cape, in one of the most arid regions of South Africa,[2] with areas receiving less than 100 mm of average annual precipitation, moisture-bearing clouds from the Atlantic Ocean being largely stopped by the Cederberg mountains. Other low areas receive little more, as the Roodewerf station (co-ordinates: S32°14’27.9” E20°05’44.5”[4]) with 180 mm of mean annual rainfall. In the hottest areas of the park, the mean maximum temperature in January is 38.9 °C, and in July the mean minimum temperature ranges from about 5 to 7 °C. Before this Park's proclamation, the only protected area of Succulent Karoo was the 2 square kilometre patch of the Gamkaberg Nature Reserve. Succulent Karoo has, together with the Cape Floral Kingdom, been declared a Biodiversity Hotspot by Conservation International. The Gannaga Pass is a magnificent gravel road ascending 548 meters through the Roggeveld Mountains from the endless plains of the Tankwa Karoo to the high plateaux near Middelpos. The pass does not break any records in terms of altitude, gradient or length, but it possesses an almost ethereal quality from a combination of graceful curves, raw mountain beauty and scope of vision that is rarely repeated in other passes. It contains 45 bends, corners and curves which include 4 extremely sharp hairpins and another three corners sharper than 90 degrees. The quality of this road can vary greatly depending on recent rainfall and snow and especially when last it was maintained. The fortunes of Middelpos were built on the trading store established by Daniel Tomlinson after purchasing a portion of the farm Stinkkuil from a local farmer in 1860. After his death, the Sher family purchased the trading store, building it into a successful enterprise servicing the needs of the farming community a far afield as the Tankwa Karoo, Sutherland, Calvinia and Williston. The Sher family, of Jewish Lithuanian extraction, were part of a widely dispersed community of Jewish traders that played a very important role in establishing commercial enterprises in many remote Karoo towns in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The most famous family member is Sir Anthony Sher KBE, who was born in Cape Town in 1949 and is a renowned Shakespearean actor, a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company and author of the book Middelpost. 0:00 Elandsberg to Roodewerf office 1:25 Rooiwal to start of pass 3:00 Gannaga Pass ascent 3:56 Pass to Middelpos 5:32 Middelpos 7:37 Middelpos to Gannaga Lodge 8:02 Gannaga Pass descent 9:07 Pass to Elandsberg #roadtrip #southafrica
