Northern Cape
The Northern Cape is a vast stretch of semi-desert land. It is a large, dry
region of fluctuating temperatures and varying topographies.
As the most
arid part of South Africa it offers the visitor an experience that is not
elsewhere available.
The Kgalagadi comprises two million-hectares of sparsely vegetated, red sand
dunes and dry riverbeds. The reserve is a sanctuary for antelope, gemsbok,
springbok, blue wildebeest, red hartebeest, eland, lion, leopard, cheetah
and smaller game.
The Augrabies Falls National Park is an arid piece of lunar landscape-like
land offering the visitor over 15 000 ha of unique riverine ecosystems to
explore and various animals and indigenous trees can be seen.
