Northern Cape
Known to be the driest region in all of South Africa, the Northern Cape offers visitors a unique experience not found anywhere else in the country.
The capital is Kimberley, known for it’s diamond mining operations, and the region itself is vast, arid, and dry. The topography varies and the region is extraordinarily beautiful, especially when the spring rains display a dizzying array of color and life as the entire desert comes to life.
Animal life is plentiful and the game include both the black and white rhino, zebra, springbok, and much more. The largest private game reserve, Tswalu Kalahari, rests on the edge of the Kalahari desert, and guests here are treated to the finest in wildlife, biodiversity, and extraordinary luxury.
The ancient San people have inhabited this region for thousands of years and evidence of their life can be found in and among the ancient rock paintings found scattered throughout the region. Your privately guided tour of these areas is a fascinating experience and the guides are local experts who accompany visitors to regions newly discovered and rarely seen by the public.
