Get ready to journey back in time! The world-famous Rubidge Fossil Collection, gathered right here in the Karoo nearly a century ago, is on display at Karoo Origins – The Fossil Centre. The Karoo is a giant storybook of the past, holding the longest fossil timeline in the world! It was home to incredible creatures that lived long before the dinosaurs, including the ancestors of tortoises, lizards, mammals, and even us!
At Karoo Origins, you won’t just be able to marvel at the real fossils on display, you’ll step into a world millions of years old. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to uncover the secrets of ancient life, and see how dinosaurs, mammals, and humans all trace their roots back to this remarkable place in time.
Karoo Origins is more than just a step back in time. It is a place where you can relax with family and friends at our cosy coffee shop and shaded outdoor area. Enjoy a light meal, a cup of coffee or tea, and if you enjoy a glass of wine, you can indulge in a variety of locally produced wines.
A trip to Karoo Origins will leave an indelible and lasting memory.
Exploring the past to understand the future.
