Northern Cape

The Northern Cape is South Africa’s largest and least densely populated province, characterised by vast open spaces, dramatic landscapes and a sense of timeless solitude. Much of the region is defined by arid plains and semi-desert terrain, while the mighty Orange River creates a striking contrast as it winds through the province, supporting fertile valleys and outdoor adventure opportunities. The Northern Cape is home to several iconic attractions, including the spectacular Augrabies Falls National Park, the wildlife-rich Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park and the world-famous spring wildflower displays of Namaqualand. Visitors can also explore the historic diamond-mining city of Kimberley and its impressive Big Hole, discover ancient rock art sites, enjoy river rafting and hiking, or simply marvel at the province’s vast skies, rugged beauty and remarkable sense of space.
