The Northern Cape is a dry region with fluctuating temperatures and differing topographies. Its weather is typically that of desert and semi-desert areas. In South Africa.

The winter rains to the Northern Cape bring to life the glorious profusion of wildflowers that decorate the regions from late August until the end of September. Kimberley, the capital of the Northern Cape is well know for its history of diamonds and many important battles of the devastating Anglo- Boer War that lasted from 1899 to 1902 were fought in this region.

The Northern Cape is home to a diversity of game, large numbers are protected in a variety of game reserves, and Game Ranches and the vegetation features an enormous variety of indigenous aloes and other succulents including 60 species of lithops.

The Green Kalahari a flourishing green valley marks the path that the Orange River cuts through the Northern Cape where farmers and, in particular, winemakers have learnt to use every precious drop of water wisely.

The Augrabies Falls National Park and the Kgalagadi Trans frontier Park (a combined conservation project between South Africa and Botswana), where thousands of animals have found sanctuary, are undoubtedly the two jewels of the region.

Just as diamonds let to the development of the Northern Cape, the Namaqualand copper rush which began in the 1850's was the catalyst for the rapid evolution of the remote and rugged wasteland of the west.

The entire region is renowned for its exceptional scenery, fertile agricultural lands, historic landmarks and charming country guest house and Bed and Breakfast accommodation. And for those unfamiliar with the Northern Cape there's the added thrill of exploring the unknown.
