The Northern Cape Province of South Africa is the ideal place to take time out of your busy lifestyle - enjoy the freedom of the wide open spaces, the fresh clean air and the friendly, down-to-earth people.
The Northern Cape, South Africa's biggest province (by land area), is most often seen from inside a speeding car on its way to Cape Town. Although the Northern Cape is a corridor province for those driving between Johannesburg and the Cape, it is in fact a region of great magnificence with plenty to offer.
Whether you want to experience the beauty and tranquillity of the numerous nature reserves, the adventure and excitement of the 4x4 routes, hiking trails, or river rafting expeditions, the waterfalls, the world renowned flowers of Namaqualand or the richness of the diverse cultural heritage, the Northern Cape has something unique to offer you.
For those who express a desire to explore, the Northern Cape could be the ideal destination. The Karoo makes up much of the province, that consists of low growing shrubs and numerous species of succulent plants.
The sheer size of the place, the clear skies, flamboyant sunsets, brilliant starry nights, mystical quality of the light, and the incredible silence is overwhelming. This is the kind of place that you want to take in slowly.
