Based at Otters' Haunt, Kopjeskraal Road, opposite Parys, North West Province, South Africa
 The Dome is so big it can only be seen from space - as in the image here (false colour highlighting the features). Come
to our Vredefort Dome information centre to learn all about the mightiest
asteroid impact of them all. The Unesco World Heritage Site draws tourists,
school and student groups, scientists and adventurers. We are 2km from the town
of Parys, on the Vaal River in central South Africa. Get hold of us to arrange

battlefields, from driving and hiking to cycling and rafting.
Stay at Otters' Haunt
Wonderful riverside accommodation in the Dome with direct access to many sites of interest.
