Are you looking for a unique and exciting holiday destination? Look no further than the Northern Cape (South Africa's largest province by land mass)! This stunning province in South Africa offers visitors breathtaking landscapes, diverse desert wildlife, and rich cultural experiences.

From incredible national parks and private game reserves to quaint little towns dotted around the landscape of the Kalahari basin, the great Karoo (a large semi-desert) and along the Atlantic coastline, there's something special waiting around every corner of this beautiful region.

A few of the most popular World-class attractions in the Northern Cape include the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, the Tswalu Kalahari Reserve, the Augrabies Falls National Park, the Orange River, the Richtersveld, the Goegap Nature Reserve, the Namibian border, the Namaqua National Park and Flower Route, and the Big Hole in Kimberley as well as the Atlantic Ocean coastline.

The Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (in the north west corner of South Africa with its famed black-maned Kalahari lions) and Tswalu Kalahari Reserve are both fantastic alternatives to a safari in the Greater Kruger National Park; the Northern Cape is Malaria free and offers exceptional family-friendly safari options.

From safari and wildlife experiences to cultural excursions, desert farming tours and white water rafting adventures, there is almost an endless list of activities and experiences to discover and enjoy while visiting.
