Albertinia, a peaceful little town lying at the foot of the Langeberg Mountain range, is known as the home of the Aloe. The indigenous Aloe ferox, or Cape Aloe, grows prolifically in the area and the leaves are collected and drained for its bitter-tasting sap used in the health and skin care industries. There are two Aloe factories in Albertinia - the only place in South Africa where the aloe juice and gel are extracted from the colourful aloe species that cover this area during the winter months of June and July. A skincare manufacturer is also based in the town and welcomes visitors to tour their facilities and learn more about the Aloe. For such a little town Albertinia, which lies between the towns of Riversdale and Mossel Bay, has a couple of distinctive industries. The town, named after the Reverend JR Albertyn, is also the primary source of red and yellow ochre, used in the manufacturing of paints and the colouring of cement and linoleum in South Africa. In addition, the area produces the natural thatch reed, Thamnochortus insignis, for commercial thatching and has a large livestock farming community, including ostrich farming. The Klein Karoo Wine Route, which stretches from Montagu, ends in Albertinia where, because the climate is so dry, vineyards tend to be organically cultivated and a variety of quality wines are produced against the mountain slopes. You can hike through the Reins Nature Reserve in Gouritsmond, bungee jump from the Gourits River Bridge, just outside Albertinia, or play a round of golf on one of the few remaining sand golf courses.

Calitzdorp is a quaint little town on route62, nestled in the heart of the klein karoo, Western Cape, Rep. of South Africa This haven is also known as the port wine capitol of South Africa, due to the quality of the port wines made by the local wine cellars. Top quality wines are produced in Calitzdorp mainly by Boplaas, De Krans, Axe Hill and Calitzdorp wine cellar.Calitzdorp restaurants and places to eat cater for every taste bud. Calitzdorp cuisine offered ranges from traditional to exquisite international fare.This fertile valley was originally a lake. The soil is mainly alluvial and agricultural crops are grown 1 km on either side of the rivers (Nels and Gamka meaning lion in khoi). Early writings prove that the khoi called Kannaland the valley with no grass. Evidence of early San and Khoi peoples are evident in numerous rock paintings found In the surrounding mountains. In 1821, land was granted to JJ and MC Calitz who named it Buffelsvlei. This name was derived from the local vegetation and animals found here. In 1853, the Calitzs donated land for a church and school to be built, as Oudtshoorn proved to be too far to travel for their monthly Nagmaal. In 1910, the population was 4000 and a larger church and school were needed. Both buildings were completed in 1912 The church has a neo-Byzantine style with a Marseilles roof. It is a good example of the sandstone architecture of the ostrich-era In the little Karoo. It was declared a national monument in 1991. Also in 1912 , building commenced on the old Standard Bank building , presently housing the museum , and the Calitzdorp dam. This dam wall was the first of many to be built in South Africa ,using cement. Subsequent drought , the great flu epidemic, and the collapse of the ostrich feather industry ,played havoc amongst the community. New hope however, came to Calitzdorp in the form of a Railway line (in 1924) and Electrification (in 1937 ), as well as the construction of the first cement road between Calitzdorp and Oudtshoorn ( also a first for South Africa ). The new R62 was built in 1978. Today, this Klein Karoo thriving community is known as the Port Wine Capital of South Africa; , and the Fruit Basket of Kannaland.

Just east of the Great Brak River, almost half way between Mossel Bay and George, lies the beautiful seaside village of Glentana, its beaches topped by fynbos covered cliffs that plunge precipitously into the Indian Ocean. The origins of the name, Glentana, are a little murky, but there are those who believe that there is a very strong connection between the town and a certain whiskey still brewed in Northern Scotland that goes by the same name. The rich combination of Milkwood trees, white beaches and rocky outcrops make for a beauty that leaves every visitor rewarded, and even today, despite the demand for property along the Garden Route, manages to remain uncluttered and unspoilt. Glentana Bay lies in an ancient riverbed where shell collecting and fishing are pastimes that have changed little since the origins of the town that began with a smattering of houses in the early 1900s. To the south of the cliffs of Glentana, there is little other than open sea, and waves build to immense proportions, their thundering surf over time forming a number of sea caves. These caves occur as one leaves Glentana village east along the coast, and include Glentana cave, Helm’s Hole, Jessica’s Cave and the caves of Cape Windlass Beach. Activities, other than drinking in the views and beauty of the surrounds, include whale watching in season, and the golf courses of nearby Fancourt - regarded as one of the country’s premier golf resorts - each a wonderful way to pass the time.

The Fruit Route, better known as the Langkloof, lies in the valley between the Kamanasie and Kouga mountains in the north, and the Outeniqua- Langkloof and Tsitsikamma mountains in the south. This area, which stretches along the valley for more than 160km, used to be the home ground of Bushmen and Gonagua Hottentots. Today it is the second largest fruit production area in South Africa - specialising in apples and pears, with many other varieties of fruit also grown. Joubertina is the main town in the Langkloof. In 1807 the Reverend W.A.Joubert of Uniondale established a Dutch Reformed rural community on the Langkloof farm. The Reverend was totally against alcohol, and one of his conditions for the community was that no alcohol was to be sold within the town. This law still applies today, although the town is much larger and therefore there are "watering holes" in the town. The Langkloof boasts many activities, including 4x4, Horse Riding, Trekking, Fishing, visiting farms and Helicopter rides. It is also the home of early Bushmen paintings and the famous Kouga Mummy. The only mummy ever found in the southern hemisphere.
