The Return To The Source Venue.
Lying just outside of the Tankwa Karoo National Park in the desert is the home of RTTS. The Stonehenge Nature Reserve is an idyllic backdrop for a boutique festival to take place. And the organisers do a fine job of infusing these surroundings into the programming.
By day you can expect lazy beats to lull you into submission whilst exploring the tranquillity of vast open surroundings. The evening’s musical curation will lure you under the mesmerising laser show from the central DJ booth before witnessing the biblical Karoo sunrise each morning.
On-site accommodation is available in the form of camping, glamping and rustic cottages.
