NORTHERN CAPE PROVINCE
Those who love the rough and arid countryside of the
Northern Cape Province, call it the jewel of South Africa. Looking at it makes
one wonder what it is that holds so much fascination for them. But after a while
one realizes that there is more than meets the eye and that the first impression
of a desolated ancient land only goes surface deep. Northern Province certainly
has its own unique attractiveness amid the other South African provinces.
Above the surface the province is home to exciting nature and scenery
treasures such as: Vast open plains and rust-red dunes tinted in the golden
tones of the sun with roaming herds of antelope, the annual springtime explosion
of brilliantly colored flowers in Namaqualand, four of South Africa's 20
national parks featuring a wide range of wild life including the Big 5 and Last
but not least the mighty Orange river in the north with its famous Augrabies
falls, the world's sixth largest waterfall.
Wildlife tourists, 4 x 4 enthusiasts, divers, river rafters and Hikers will
be eager to grasp the chance to discover the unspoilt river, sea and dunes,
becoming totally enthralled with the Northern Province in the process.
