Top Reasons to Go to the Northern Cape

Getting Off the Beaten Path: This is South Africa’s emerging, undiscovered province, where less is indisputably more.

Scenery: Mixed in with inevitable boring stuff, there is some awesome landscape with a rugged beauty.

Spring Flower Season: The magnificent wildflowers in Namaqualand must be seen to be believed, and they are easily reachable from Cape Town.

Starry Skies: The Southern Hemisphere’s largest telescope is in off-the-beaten-track Sutherland for good reason.

Desert Game: Excellent game reserves mean an experience very different from Kruger; you'll see more cheetahs and rhinos and fewer elephants.
