Northern Cape Towns and Cities

Namaqualand – this area is a tourist trap during spring for its astonishing display of wildflowers. From late August you will see the bright oranges and yellows of daisies, as far as the eye can see in an area normally arid and unforgiving. This spectacle is world-renowned with botanists, plant-lovers and holiday-makers alike.

Upington – situated on the Orange River this is a place of fertile land, intensely hot summers and close-by attrations for instance the Kalahari Gemsbok Park and the (480 feet tall) Augrabies Waterfall and National Park.

Kimberley – this capital city of the Northern Cape offers all modern amenities and plenty history and culture with good museums. In 1866 a 21 carat diamond was discovered here and thus, the Big Hole is a must-visit while in Kimberley. Both the McGregor and Sol Plaatjie museums are worth visiting plus the William Humphreys Art Gallery, the Wildebeest Kuil Rock Art Center and the Duggan-Cronin Gallery.
