Deserts and Waterfalls!
Cape Town - Winelands - Garden Route - Northern Cape - Eastern Cape - Limpopo
Free State - Johannesburg - Durban - Mpumalanga - North West
Amid the ever-shifting sand dunes, lies one of the last intact eco-systems on the
continent. South Africa’s Kalahari Gemsbok Park shares an unfenced boundary
with Botswana’s Gemsbok National Park to form the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.
Visit the nearby Augrabies Falls, where the waters of the Orange River plunge
spectacularly into a gaping granite pool. It was the yellow diamond found by a
young boy in 1866, which resulted in the world’s biggest diamond rush and
spawned the town of Kimberley.
The town’s most famous attraction is the monstrous Big Hole and the adjoining
Kimberley Mine Museum recapturing the prospecting spirit. Travel to
Namaqualand every spring to capture one of the world’s most famous floral phenomenons: in early spring, the windswept
sandveld transforms into a carpet of colourful daisies, as far as the eye can see.
Archaeology Palaeontology Driekopseiland
Only a few kilometres outside Kimberley, near Plooysburg, lies Driekopseiland (Three Head/Hillock Island) where nomadic
San tribes made more than 3 000 rock engravings on the glacial pavements of the bed of the Riet (Reed) River. These
engravings are believed to be between 800 and 2 500 years old.
