Built in 1776, Graaff-Reinet is the oldest established town in the Eastern Cape and the fourth-oldest in South Africa. The town is the main center of the Camdeboo Municipality and is built in an attractive setting with mountains on three sides of the town and the very flat plains of the Camdeboo on the southern side. The town boasts some 220 national monuments and a huge number of restored historical buildings that line its streets. It is also a town of the Karoo, which is known for its warm hearted and open hospitality. Visitors will find museums with collections of photographic memorabilia, firearms, artworks and fossils that trace the story of the Karoo.
