Northern Cape

 

The Northern Cape is a vast and scarcely populated province. The region was created in 1994 when the former Cape Province was broken up into three smaller parts.

The major highlight of this arid area is the Namaqualand - located in the northwest of this province. Thousands of visitors travel from all over the world to this dry and dynamic region in the short spring season (usually around August - September, depending on the rains).

For two months of the dusty desert year, hotspots in the Northern Cape burst with wildflowers. The landscape swiftly shifts from dry arid land to vast fields of purple, yellow, orange and white.

 

 "We quickly settled into a routine: up at dawn to gulp down a coffee, scoop up the sleeping six-year-old and deposit her, along with the rest of the yawning family, in the car and off into the golden light of a Kalahari morning. And it was on our game drives that the family began to reveal its secrets...." - Dominic Chadbon, 'Family Secrets', June, 2008.
