South Africa's Only True Desert
Experience one of the driest but most picturesque regions in the Northern Cape - vist the Richtersveld.
With an anniversary rainfall of fewer than 70mm and temperatures up to 50°C, the Richtersveld is one of the maximum dry districts in South Africa,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], yet also has the greatest diversity of plants while likened to any other desert in the world. Life-sustaining humidity comes in the fashion of early morn mist – shrieked ‘Ihuries’ alternatively ‘Malmokkies’ by the local people.
At places,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], there are more than 350 category per square kilometre. From the 2 700 plant species counted here, 560 are indigenous only to the Richtersveld. The region includes Steinkopf, Port Nolloth, Alexander Bay, Eksteenfontein, Lekkersing and Koeboes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and is home to the Richtersveld National Park. One can reach the Richtersveld both from Vioolsdrif over the Aninauspas to Eksteenfontein, or from Cape Town on the N7 to Steinkopf and on to Port Nolloth on the R382.
The community of 5000 namely a merge of ancestral Khoi and Nama human, Bosluisbasters – offsprings from white and Koi unions from the Cape,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], missionaries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], prospectors and venture seekers. About 15km outdoor Koeboes is Wondergat, a sink aperture which is, to the regional human,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], circled along eeriness and fable. Said to be the home of a monster snake with a diamond above his forehead and sometimes also of a vengeful Nama specter, the place is said to occasion unexplainable and grim cancer. Wondergat is also a renowned swoop site because the techniucal diving community as it is 1 of the deepest inland dive sites in South Africa - divers such as Nuno Gomes use Wondergat to prepare for other deep dives.
Must do's in the Richtersveld includes doing a 4x4 route and driving the Springbok flats, whilst keeping on the lookout for Rock Hyrax, Ground Squirrel, Jackal Buzzard,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Hartmann’s Mountain Zebra, “halfmens” or half-human (Pachypodium namaquanum), juicy through which the rust-red brown aloe (Aloe pearsonii) and the different species of quiver trees, be sure to keep a camera within reach.
Camp by Kokerboomkloof amidst a jungle of Aloe dichotoma or for those in need of a bit more elegance, linger in a chalet on the banks of the Orange River at Sendelingsdrift, Tatasberg or Ganakourie Wilderness Camps.
The park is only accessible by method of a 4x4 traffic, but vehicles with high clearances such as combi’s and LDV’s do peregrination in the park. Sedan vehicles are not permitted. There is not specific path namely tin be booked in advance.
Experience desolation and life combined in this peerless surroundings.
