What Wikipedia says

The Karoo ( kə-ROO-ə; likely from Khoikhoi (also known as Khoekhoegowab/Namagowab or Hottentot language) word Karo (Korana for 'hard, dry, desert')) is a semidesert natural region of South Africa. No exact definition of what constitutes the Karoo is available, so its extent is also not precisely defined.
