Explore the Region
Philippolis, the nearest town to Tiger Canyon, is an artist’s haven. The region has a rich history as part of the Karoo and the Free State.
The KarooTiger Canyon is situated in the False Karoo. On this section of the Free State, along the Orange River, the landscape is filled with deep ravines, treed gully’s, uniquely different rocky outcrops and a balance between open grassland and spectacular canyons.
The Orange River flows into the Van der Kloof Dam (South Africa’s second largest dam), bordering the Free State and Northern Cape provinces. Views of the unspoilt dam are best enjoyed from the highest point of Tiger Canyon. Ask your guide to take you there.
