Between these “koppies” the outstretched savannah is the home of God-fearing sheep and goat-farmers. Springtime in Namaqualand is from August to October. Then the arid plains become "God’s own Garden", when the wild spring flowers burst into a kaleidoscope of colour. Springbok offers many attractions incl geological and historical sites, museums and fine restaurants. We are situated near to the famous Namaqualand wildflower reserves and to the Richtersveld National Park. Springbok is a peaceful and crime-free town with a lot of nostalgia. It is the gateway to Namibia, as we are only 120 kms from the border at the Orange River. |
