The Northern Cape promises to enchant visitors with its incredible natural beauty and versatility and offers visitors a kaleidoscope of scenic vistas ranging from the vast contrasts of the Green Kalahari to the stark impressive natural wonder of the majestic Augrabies Falls. From the seemingly arid Karoo region with its desolate valleys between flat-topped koppies (hills) to the flamboyancy of the Namakwaland floral splendour and the proud mining tradition of the Kimberley diamond region, the Northern Cape paints a perfect backdrop to unforgettable holiday memories.

The Northern Cape proudly celebrates the unique cultures that build the landscape of this vast province. The province’s magnifying appeal is steeped in its rich archaeological heritage tracing ancient tribes like the San (Bushmen), Nama and Griqua and it continues to pay homage to its culturally diverse history. Some of the country’s premier rock art sites with over 400 rock engravings are located between Kimberley and Barkly West. The history of this region is deeply rooted in a proud mining tradition and the Old Copper Way presents visitors with the chance to follow in the footsteps of explorers of yesteryear. Museums and memorials located throughout the province provide visitors with the opportunity to explore the historic influences that have shaped the province.

Adventure seekers are spoilt for choice as the great weather of sunny Northern Cape makes it the premier destination for adventure and extreme sports. For the thrill of a lifetime, visitors can pick between abseiling, rock climbing, white river rafting, paragliding, endurance MTB racing or an exhilarating 4x4 trip and adventure motor-biking. More leisurely pursuits include star-gazing in Sutherland, strolling along the numerous hiking trails or going on an eco-adventure to discover the elusive members making up the Little Five and Shy Five. Motoring enthusiasts with a need for speed can head to Hakskeenpan – home to the Bloodhound land-speed world record attempt and the Kalahari Desert Speedweek, while skateboarders can explore the dream Maloof skate plaza in Kimberley.

This are is world renowned for Kimberley’s incredible diamond story and Anglo Boer siege are part of only the most recent history here. A rich archeological heritage, including stunning examples of ancient rock engravings, reflects a past that reaches back to the very origin of humankind.
Kimberley Big hole and Mine Museum The most visited tourist attraction in the Northern Cape has undergone a major revamp and proudly traces the history of Kimberley and the Northern Cape. The diamond city was the location for the infamous diamond rush in 1866 and one of the greatest sieges of the Anglo-Boer wars. Today, the incredible Big Hole remains the largest hand-dug excavation in the world and recalls those early days of
diamond diggers, which has contributed to South Africa being ranked as one of the top diamond production countries in the world.
The Belgravia Historic Walk, Kimberley Two kilometres of historic sites and stately Victorian homes.
Legends of KimberleyThe Northern Cape boasts a rich cultural heritage and has been
home to numerous individuals, who have helped to shape and influence not only the province, but the country. Ranging from freedom fighters, feminists, anti-war campaigners to authors, missionaries, explorers, the Northern Cape proudly remembers their contributions through tributes and memorials located throughout the province.
The Vaalharts Valley Visit one of the world’s largest irrigation schemes that waters over 1000 farms.

Explore the Anglo Boer War Route
The Battlefields Route allows visitors to relive the war between Great Britain and the Boer Republics
of Transvaal and the Orange Free State from 1899 to 1902. The Northern Cape played a decisive role in
the war with the famous Kimberley siege and many of the major battles of the Western Campaign taking
place within 120 kilometres of Kimberley.
The details of the siege, including the victories and setbacks suffered by can be relived at the Magers-fontein and McGregor Museums. Included among
these are the Battles from Orange River Station, including Modder River, Magersfontein, Belmont, Graspan. The town Modder River lies 39km south
of Kimberley near the confluence of the Riet and Modder rivers. The town has three monuments
commemorating the Anglo-Boer War Battle of Modder River in the vicinity.
By visiting the many battlefields and talking to the local inhabitants, a visitor is able to picture that
distant war and bring it to life, recapturing the trials and tribulations of all who were
concerned with the war.

DIAMOND FIELDS

.
The Frances Baard District Municipality is a place of wide-open spaces, where golden savannahs stretch as far as the eye can see. It is a place of arid natural beauty, where resilient green cactuses and tena-cious thorn trees fi ll the landscape, and bright yel-low sunfl owers can be seen following the sun’s arc across deep blue skies. Five gushing rivers divide this landscape: the Vaal, Orange, Modder, Harts and Riet, which give life to the region and its inhabitants.The history of this region is very much defi ned by the diamond rush of the 19th century. To this day, diamonds can still be found near Hopetown, in Kim-berley and on the banks of the great rivers that fl ow through the Diamond Fields.Apart from its mining roots, the Diamond Fields have a great variety of other experiences on off er.
There are cultural attractions like the ancient San etchings at Wildebeest Kuil and the Anglo-Boer War Battlefi elds Route to explore. There are several game farms in the region where you can see the endan-gered rhino and other game, and birders can spot a wonderful variety of endemic species. The fi ve major rivers are perfect for water activities like fi shing, pad-dling and boating, and explorers can go in search of the rumbling Gong-Gong Waterfall out near Barkly West. Unique experiences include the world-class Maloof Skate Park in Kimberley, agritourism in the lush Vaalharts Valley and a visit to the beautiful old Nazareth House Mission Station near Warrenton.

Welcome to the Diamond Fields!
At the heart of Sol Plaatje Municipality is the bright metropolis of Kimberley, the capital city of the North-ern Cape, and Galeshewe, the vibrant township on the city’s border. The municipality also includes the towns of Modder River, Ritchie, Riverton, Ronald’s Vlei, Beaconsfield, Kenilworth and Spytfontein. The municipality has a population of about 250,000, by far the most populated region in the Frances Baard District.
KimberleyThis diverse city is the capital of the Northern Cape Province. Its history began some 150 years ago when an 83-carat diamond was discovered on Colesburg Kopje. Word spread and soon 50,000 diggers from around the world descended on the area. The kopje (hill) soon became a ‘Big Hole’, as excavators mined the earth. The town that sprung up as a result of the influx of people was aptly dubbed ‘New Rush’, and was renamed Kimberley in 1873 after John Wode-house, the First Earl of Kimberley, who was the Brit-
ish Secretary of State for the Colony at the time.The prospecting rush lead to Kimberley becoming the first large-scale industrialised city in southern Africa. Kimberley became a pioneering town: it was the first town in the southern hemisphere to install electric street lights in 1882, it is home to South Africa’s first stock exchange and tram transportation network, and was a leader in aviation, establishing the first aviation school in the country in 1913.The city was also the centre-stage for one of the great sieges of the Anglo-Boer War when, in October 1899, Kimberley was surrounded by Boer forces. The city was besieged for four months before the British army freed the town after epic battles at Belmont, Modder River, Magersfontein and Paardeberg.Today Kimberley is a peaceful place full of memorials to its rather turbulent and exciting past.It is a city of contrasts, where beautiful Victorian churches stand alongside modern shopping malls and the ‘Big Hole’, surrounded by original buildings from the old mining town.

Dikgatlong is a Setswana name meaning “confluence”, referring to the place where the Harts and the Vaal rivers flow into one another. The name can be traced back some 300 years. Dikgatlong is located in the middle of the Frances Baard District Municipality and the town of Barkly West is its administrative centre. Other towns in the region are Delportshoop, Longlands, Kutlwano, Windsor-ton, Ulco and Sydney on Vaal. Dikgatlong is home to the site of the first alluvial diamond digging in the region and is renowned for its excellent fly-fishing spots and luxury game lodges where you can see many of the Big Five. The adventurous are encour-aged to go in search of the Gong-Gong Waterfall on the Vaal, where the quiet river suddenly tumbles into a gully and fills out into a tranquil pool.Today livestock, irrigation farming and commercial mining drive the district’s economy, although a few diggers can still be seen sifting through gravel on the river banks in the tradition of diamond dig-
gers of old! Setswana is the most widely spoken language, followed by Afrikaans.
Barkly WestLocated on the north bank of the Vaal River 35 kilometres west of Kimberley, Barkly West was a tiny mission village until the diamond rush saw thousands of prospectors flocking to the town in 1870. In fact, this is where the first diamond in the country was discovered in 1869. The town was initially known as Klipdrift (as in the famous brandy), which is Dutch for ‘stony ford’ or ‘stony place on a river’, before being renamed Barkly West once colonial rule extended to the area.

The name ‘Magareng’ is the Setswana word meaning ‘the middle’, and is derived from the fact that this region is literally in the middle of the country. Warrenton, a quiet agricultural town, is the administrative centre of the municipality and other communities include Ikhutseng, Warrenvale and Windsorton Road. The area is largely defined by agriculture, which is sustained by one of the largest irrigation schemes in the southern hemisphere. There are also a number of commercial farms which breed cattle, game, ostrich and goats. There are three historic stone blockhouses from the Anglo-Boer War still standing on the banks of the Vaal River, and an old railway bridge built in the 1920s – a line that still connects the Northern Cape and the North West Province.
WarrentonWarrenton is an agricultural town located 70km north of Kimberley on the Vaal River. Diamonds were first discovered here in 1888, and between 1905
and 1926 the area yielded 21,630 carats worth of diamonds. The town was originally known as Stanger’s Rest, then Fourteen Streams, but was finally named Warrenton after Charles Warren in 1880, administrator of Griqualand West and lauded military leader. Warrenton was on Cecil John Rhodes’ planned Cape to Cairo rail link. Although the railway reached the town in 1890, it wasn’t until the 1920s that the low level bridge was built across the Vaal River to allow wagons and motorised vehicles to cross. There are a number of resorts based on the Vaal-Harts Dam, where visitors can escape for week-ends and family holidays. Two national highways, namely the N12 to Johannesburg and the N18 to Mafikeng, meet at Warrenton.

THE BIG HOLE AND KIMBERLEY MINE MUSEUMA trip to Kimberley would be incomplete with-out visiting the city’s main attraction, the Big Hole.
Right in the middle of the city, this giant 215-metre deep crater serves as a reminder of the diamond rush of the 1870s, where prospectors carved out the largest hand-dug excavation in the world in search of the pre-cious gemstones. In its time, the Big Hole yielded an incredible 2 722 kilograms of dia-monds.
The town boasts almost 12000 oak trees, in-cluding 26 different oak variants.
Today, the Big Hole and its surrounds have been converted into a museum and tourist attraction. Visitors can go underground in a recreation of a mine shaft of the period and learn about the history of diamond mining in Kimberley, see historic memorabilia and buy diamonds slightly cheaper than usual. There is also a fascinating reconstruction of the ‘Old Town’ at the big hole that gives visitors
an idea of what it was like to live there back in the town’s heydays of the late 1800s.
SOL PLAATJE HOUSE MUSEUMThe Sol Plaatje House Museum hosts a li-brary for African literature, with interesting displays on Sol Plaatje’s life
A founder member of the ANC, Plaatje would go on to become the party’s first secretary general. While based in Kimberley, the bril-liant journalist, intellectual, teacher and lin-guist served as a court interpreter, translator, novelist and newspaper editor. He authored a number of important documentary books, in particular Native Life in South Africa and sang the first ever sound recording of Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika.

ROBERT SOBUKWE HOUSE AND LAW OFFICERobert Mangaliso Sobukwe was one of the country’s great freedom fighters – and cer-tainly one of the most harshly treated by the Apartheid government.
The founding president of the Pan African-ist Congress, he was one of the leaders of the pass law demonstration that ended in the tragedy at Sharpeville in 1960. Sobukwe was subsequently arrested for ‘incitement and given a three-year prison sentence, which was extended by a further six years of solitary confinement on Robben Island.

Sobukwe was subsequently arrested for ‘incitement and given a three-year prison sentence, which was extended by a further six years of solitary confinement on Robben Island.
SOL PLAATJE LOCAL MUNICIPALITYReleased in 1969, Sobukwe was exiled to Kimberley where he was placed under house arrest. From his house at 6 Naledi Street, Galeshewe, Sobukwe achieved his law degree and practiced law from a law of-fice in Royal Street. He died in Kimberley in 1978.
GALESHEWE ACTIVITY ROUTEExperience an exciting tour of the township and Galeshewe Cultural Village.
Galeshewe, named after the legend, hero and stalwart Kgosi Galeshewe, is one of the oldest townships in South Africa with a very rich history. Taxi to Galeshewe offers an exciting tour of the township, including all historic locations such as the first post office in Galeshewe, the beer house, Robert So-bukwe’s house and offices where he prac-ticed and many more significant landmarks. A visit the Galeshewe Cultural Village will al-low you to be enriched by a unique mix of all the Galeshewe cultures in action.The Galeshewe Mural Arts project inte-grates fine art with tourism, giving previously disadvantaged communities a platform for display-ing fine art in Kimberley, while also upgrading the township aesthetics through mural art.

McGREGOR MUSEUMThis museum depicts three million years of human history in the Northern Cape.
The McGregor Museum was originally lo-cated in Chapel Street, but was moved in the early 1970s to a larger building, the old Kimberley Sanatorium – the same building where Cecil John Rhodes held up during the Siege of Kimberley from 1899 - 1900.
The first curator of the museum was Ms Ma-ria Wilman and in the forty years that she was in charge, she transformed it into one of the most important in South Africa. Since her fields of interest were botany, mineralogy, ethnology and archaeology, Ms Wilman cer-tainly the foundations of the present certain-ly the foundations of the present museum studies and collections, which have made important contributions to the ecological and historical knowledge of the Northern Cape.Displays include natural history, the Siege of Kimberley, a Hall of Religions and the ac-claimed Ancestors Gallery, depicting three million years of human history in the North-ern Cape

The Northern Cape Provincial Legislature is the law-making institution of the province and this African-inspired Provincial Legisla-ture building is aptly situated between the city and the township of Galeshewe and is the pride of the Northern Cape. The feeling that the structure evokes is captured in the catchphrase ‘an icon of pride, a home to all’. It is an architectural reflection of the North-ern Cape Province and captures the spirit and aspirations of the people of the province with its unique, evocative family of forms and the interrelation of volumes and open space. As such the new building houses the members of the Provincial Legislature, the support staff of the Legislature, the Premier, and the Premier’s office staff. It has a debat-ing chamber, a library, an open area called the ‘Patlelo’, and a Respirator Tower which is primarily an architectural landmark. The buildings face the People’s Square, a gath-ering area and public space.

KIMBERLEY“Kimberley - Kimberley is a city in South Africa, and the capital of the Northern Cape. It is located near the confluence of the Vaal and Orange Rivers. The town has considerable historical significance due its diamond mining past and siege during the Second Boer War. Notable personalities such as Cecil Rhodes, made their fortune here, and the roots of the De Beers Corporation can also be traced to the early days of the mining town. The city of Kimberley is the major centre of the Sol Plaatje Municipality which includes Beaconsfield, Kenilworth, Modder River, Ritchie, Riverton, Ronald’s Vlei and Spytfontein. The Sol Plaatje Municipality is, in turn, within the Frances Baard District Municipality (often marketed as the Diamond Fields), the smallest yet most densely populated region of the Northern Cape. The Sol Plaatje Municipality is named after the first Secretary-General of the African National Congress and writer, Solomon ‘Sol’ Tshekisho Plaatje. Steeped in exciting history, Kimberley boasts many traces of the past in its architectural heritage, historic sites, museums, heritage sites, and an incredible number of monuments.

BARKLY WEST INC. DELPORTSHOOP - As with many of the towns in the Northern Cape, Barkly West found its humble beginnings in the diamond industry. In fact, this is where the very first diamond was discovered in
South Africa in 1869. Originally established in 1849, Barkly West was a tiny mission village until the diamond rush saw hundreds of prospectors flocking
to the town in search of financial freedom. Located approximately thirty-five kilometers away from Kimberley, Barkly West is not only a historical destination but a town that is surrounded by natural beauty and many
attractions for visitors to explore.32 Km northwest of Kimberley on the R31

The seemingly arid Karoo region quickly transforms itself with the first summer rains into waving fields of grasses with picturesque scenes of grazing sheep and spinning wind pumps. Visitors are enticed by its distinctive Karoo architecture, impressive churches and desolate valleys between flat-topped koppies (hills). This region offers visitors the traditional warm hospitality of its people combined with superb hunting, hiking and game watching.
Karoo architectureTake time out to explore the little towns of the Karoo and discover a unique style of architecture born of necessity. Most of the original town dwellings are simple
structures with a prominent covered verandah as protection against the harsh sun. The more elaborate homes have traces of Victorian style, but still maintain a Karoo-like integrity. The usual windmill in the back garden also adds a typical Karoo authenticity to the buildings.
Khoisan Rock Art Throughout the Karoo, visitors can discover the secrets of these ancient nomadic tribes by exploring the rock art engravings depicting the lives and customs of the Khoisan. Most of the images are found on low ridges of dolerite rock as the black boulder fields are ideal for engraving.
Vanderkloof DamThe second biggest dam with the highest dam wall in South Africa is a marvellous engineering feat and a fabulous holiday resort ideally suited to families. When the dam is full, it stretches to 100km in length and is perfect for most watersports including sailing, skiing and windsurfing. Dam tours can be organised to give visitors insight into the history and workings of the dam. The 6 200 hectare Rolfontein Nature Reserve is located on the northwestern shore. The reserve is home to eland, gemsbok, red hartebeest, Burchell’s zebra, white rhino, kudu, springbok, grey duiker, bat-eared fox, baboon, vervet monkey, aardvark and aardwolf.

The naMaKWa RegionEach spring, the dormant and arid winter plains of the Namakwaland come alive with a flamboyant spread of wild flowers. As part of the Succulent Karoo, the Namakwa is a biodiversity hotspot and as such is the only arid hotspot in the world. It also has a rich and deeply rooted mining tradition and the Old Copper Way present visitors with the chance to follow in the footsteps of explorers of yesteryear. Also home to the best star-gazing on earth
|ai|ais/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park Southern Africa’s surrealistic mountain desert park introduced a new era for desert tourism and conservation when the multi-national treaty was signed between Namibia and
South Africa. Rugged kloofs, high mountains and dramatic landscapes sweep inland from the Orange River and are home to a remarkable array of plant and birdlife.
Much more than flowersA rich and rare plant life has adapted itself to the harsh climate of the Namakwa and this floral diversity has made the Namakwa the richest bulb flora arid region in the world. The region contains more than 6 000 plant species, 250 species of birds, 78 species of mammals, 132 species of reptiles and amphibians and an unknown number of insects, making it the world’s most diverse, arid environment. More than 40% of these species are found nowhere else on Earth.
Copper and DiamondsRoutes along mines of old and present day explore this important part of the fabric of the Northern Cape. The historic
copper town of Okiep celebrates its rich mining history with many original sites preserved as tourist attractions, including the pump house, chimney and generator of the old mine and a viewing point at the mine site.
South African Astronomical Observatory The sky is the limit at Sutherland in the south, where fans of astronomy will find the best star-gazing on earth at the South African Astronomical Observatory. Visitors can book tours to experience the dramatic grandeur of the galaxy.

The world’s largest forests of quiver trees (kokerbome) can be found outside Loeriesfontein, Kenhardt and Onseepkans. Owing its name to the San, who used the trunk, branches and its bark to make quivers, the aloe grows to four metres, stores water in its trunk, resists drought and lives for up to 400 years.
The sterboom or star-tree (Cliffortia arborea) grows nowhere else, but against the southern sides of high ridges of the Nuweveld mountain where it finds shelter from the blazing sun. The parks and nature reserves are amongst the best places to view this floral wonderland.
The 103 000 ha Namaqua National Park, 22km north-west of Kamieskroon, is open to the public throughout the year. The Goegap Nature Reserve is located 15 km from Springbok and offers 15 000ha of typically rocky granite hills and sandy flats. It supports 600 indigenous flower species, 45 mammal species and 94 bird species. The Hester Malan Wild Flower Garden showcases a spectacular number of indigenous succulants. Limited accommodation is available.

Majestically stretching over 360 000 square kilometres from the world-renowned Kalahari Desert in the north to the arid plains of the Karoo in the South, the Northern Cape Province of South Africa offers visitors an unforgettable holiday experience.
For nature lovers, the Northern Cape offers an abundance of nature and outdoor experiences with its incredible natural beauty and versatility. The province’s magnifying appeal is steeped in its rich archaeological heritage tracing ancient tribes like the San (Bushmen), Nama and Griqua and pays homage to its diverse history. The province is divided into five regions, namely Diamond Fields, Kalahari, Green Kalahari, Namakwa and Karoo.
The Namakwa region especially offers a rich and diverse tourism experience. Visitors can immerse themselves in the colourful histories of towns deeply rooted in a proud mining tradition.
Take an unforgettable raft or canoe trip through imposing canyons on the meandering waterways of Namakwa’s artery of life, the Orange River.
Or take your 4x4 on an adventure in the haunting moonscapes of the stunningly barren, saw-toothed mountains of the untamed |Ai|Ais/Richtersveld Transfrontier Park.
Suggested Flower Route ItinerariesRoute 1Garies – Hondeklipbaai (R62) – towards Soebatsfontein take Kamieskroon turnoff – at Kamieskroon pass hotel to Namaqua National Park,
Route 2From Kamieskroon take the turn off to Leliesfontein – Kamiesberg Pass – towards Gamoep take Nourivier turn off – Garies via Karas
Route 3Springbok – Steinkopf via Nababeep (N7) – Port Nolloth (R382) – Grootmis/Kleinzee (permit required) – Spektakel Pass – Goegap Nature Reserve
Most flowers enthusiasts’ dream is to experience Namakwa’s spring display. This unspoiled expanse of open spaces is regarded as one of the world’s botanical wonders.
The first flowers appear in July along the drier coastal strip and in the north of the region and later flowering displays can be found until early October at the higher and cooler altitudes.
Labelled by visitors as ‘the greatest flower show on earth’, Namakwa offers blazing Persian carpets of colourful daisies and vegetation rich in bulbs, perennial shrubs and vygies.
The Namakwa region especially offers visitors a diverse tourism experience and is part of the Succulent Karoo which contains more than 6 000 plant species, 250 species of birds, 78 species of mammals, 132 species of reptiles and amphibians and an unknown number of insects, making it the world's richest bulb flora arid region and the most diverse, arid environment.
More than 40% of these species are found nowhere else on Earth!
Many byroads traverse the region and a large variation of landscapes and colour combinations can be found within short distances. Be sure not to miss the Goegap Nature Reserve (Springbok), the Namaqualand National Park (Kamieskroon) and the ‘bulb capital’ Niewoudtville.
The best way to discover the small jewels sheltering between the taller plants is on foot and it offers keen photographers amazingly rewarding experiences.

The first flowers appear in July along the drier coastal strip and in the north of the region and later flowering displays can be found until early October at the higher and cooler altitudes.
Labelled by visitors as ‘the greatest flower show on earth’, Namakwa offers blazing Persian carpets of colourful daisies and vegetation rich in bulbs, perennial shrubs and vygies.
The Namakwa region especially offers visitors a diverse tourism experience and is part of the Succulent Karoo which contains more than 6 000 plant species, 250 species of birds, 78 species of mammals, 132 species of reptiles and amphibians and an unknown number of insects, making it the world's richest bulb flora arid region and the most diverse, arid environment.
More than 40% of these species are found nowhere else on Earth!
Many byroads traverse the region and a large variation of landscapes and colour combinations can be found within short distances. Be sure not to miss the Goegap Nature Reserve (Springbok), the Namaqualand National Park (Kamieskroon) and the ‘bulb capital’ Niewoudtville.
The best way to discover the small jewels sheltering between the taller plants is on foot and it offers keen photographers amazingly rewarding experiences.
Before setting out on your floral experience do contact the local tourism bureaux for up-to-date flower news or visit www.experiencenortherncape.com flower updates.

SPRINGBOKSpringbok is the largest town in the Namaqualand area in the Northern Cape province of South Africa.The town lies at an altitude of 3300 feet (1000 m) in a narrow valley between the high granite domes of the Klein Koperberge (Small Copper Mountains).
This area is famed for the incredible transformation which occurs every spring, when the near-lifeless scrubland explodes into colour from thousands of flowers hidden in the dry dusty earth, brought to life by winter rains. One of the best places to view this phenomenon is at the Goegap Nature Reserve, a short distance south-east of the town. Apart from its spring flowers and various large antelope species, the reserve is also known for its collection of rare drought resistant succulents.

The contrasting vastness of the Green Kalahari will overwhelm visitors with its dramatic changes in landscape from dramatic semi-deserts and the stark silhouettes of sweeping sand dunes to the lush green valleys of vineyards and fruit orchards hugging the banks of the mighty Orange River.
augrabies Falls national Park Arguably one of the most impressive natural wonders in the country, the Augrabies Falls plummets 56 metres down a series of granite cataracts to create what the original Khoikhoi residents called Ankoerebis or Place of the Great Noise. The world’s sixth largest waterfall is an awesome spectacle not to be missed. The park is essentially a scenic park with a rich variety of animals and indigenous trees. Various exciting new eco-adventure packages are available to visitors and include self-drive game watching, night drives, the short Dassie Nature Trail and the
3-day Klipspringer Hiking Trail, which takes hikers from the plateau into the depths of the gorge.
Riemvasmaak - A Community RestoredBest accessed by 4x4 vehicles, this spectacular mountain desert wilderness with its towering granite canyons is owned and run by the community of Riemvasmakers. It was one of the first land restitution projects in South Africa and has much to offer the intrepid traveller. Besides 4x4 adventures, visitors can enjoy bathing in a natural outdoor hot spring, absailing, river rafting, san rock art viewing and guided tours. Traditional dances and meals can be arranged and accommodation is available in comfortable chalets that are perched on the edge of cliff walls.
The Red Dune Routeis a showcase for the wide range of activities available to visitors ranging from duneboarding, camel riding and 4x4 trailing for the adventurous to leisurely game drives, guided walks, birding expeditions and other
eco-inclined activities for nature-lovers. This presents an ideal opportunity for visitors to embrace local customs and stories, to indulge in authentic local foods and encounter warm Kalahari hospitality in a remote desert area.
Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park A 3.7 million hectare unspoilt ecosystem and Africa’s first Transfrontier park linking Northern Cape with Namibia and Botwana. Kgalagadi is home to vast herds of gemsbok, springbok, blue wildebeest, red hartebeest, eland as well as lion, leopard, cheetah and smaller game. The red sand dunes, sparse vegetation and the dry riverbeds of the Nossob and Auob provide perfect backdrops for numerous species of antelope and predators. Overnight accommodation is available at three traditional rest camps.

UPINGTONThe elevation of Upington is 2742 feet (835 metres). It is the closest large centre to the Augrabies Falls, arguably the greatest of South African waterfalls. The landscape is very arid but the soil is fertile and crops such as fruit are grown in irrigated fields. The area is best known for its export-quality grapes, raisins and wines, which are cultivated on the rich flood plains of the Orange river.820km north of Cape Town and 875km west of Johannesburg

The sundrenched Kalahari with its endless horizons and undulating dunes evokes memories of a land before time and is rich in birdlife, including 40 raptor and vulture species (of 67 species in South Africa) and seven owl species (of 12 species nationally).
The Roaring Kalahari Route Enjoy an adventure on the back roads of the Kalahari. This route is a tribute to Mother Nature’s creatures – big and small. Visitors can expect the thrills of the King of the Animal kingdom in close-up encounters with the Kalahari lions in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, but also meet the smaller desert creatures and discover their secret world.
From Beneath the SurfaceBehind the apparent tranquillity of the Kalahari, the immense natural resources of this region remain a surprising phenomenon. Mammoth trucks and colossal machinery bear testament to the Kalahari’s reputation for as a superior source for manganese and other minerals.
The Eye of KurumanThe largest spring in the southern hemisphere brings relief to the desert. Kuruman is known as the ‘Oasis of the Kalahari’ and is blessed with a permanent source of water. Gasegonyane, which
means little water calabash, is commonly known as ‘Die Oog’ and delivers 20-30 million litres of crystal clear water daily to its approximately 10 000 inhabitants. The town nestles in a shallow valley surrounded by low hills and is named after a Bushman chief, who lived in the area in the 1700s.
Hunters’ Paradise The Kalahari region has established itself as one of the major hunting areas in South Africa and is ideally situated on a main access route between Gauteng and Namibia/Cape Town via Upington. The Northern Cape is home to more than 1200 registered fenced game farms covering over 2,6-million hectares and presents excellent hunting opportunities. The Hunting & Wildlife Industry is stringently regulated by the Department of Environment and Nature Conservation to ensure adherence to strict guidelines and operational procedures.

@NorthernCapeSANorthern Cape Tourism northerncapetourism northerncapesa
The sheer size and distances of the Kalahari can be intimidating, but the members of the Roaring Kalahari Route make visitors feel at ease in this vast wilderness. The route starts in the oasis of Kuruman before heading through the tree-filled town of Kathu and northwards to Dibeng and the mining towns of Hotazel and Black Rock. It then heads to McCarthy’s Rest on the Botswana border, back down to Van Zylsrus and westward to Askham with a detour to the unforgettable Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.
The next stop on the itinerary is Upington, the largest town on the route before heading back east to Groblershoop and the Boegoeberg Dam. A stay-over at the Witsand Nature Reserve is an absolute must before continuing the journey to Griquatown and Danielskuil. Along the way visitors can visit and stay at some of the most hospitable and colourful guest houses, guest farms, resorts, parks and nature reserves in the country.
