Northern Cape Information

Escape to the vast open naked plains of this beautiful semi desert region, South Africa's largest province, theNorthern Cape. Enjoy the tranquil beauty of clear skies, the wide open spaces of the golden deserts by day and the clear black star-studded skies by night with the beautiful Milky Way laid bare in all her awe-inspiring glory. The Northern Cape is a treasure trove of unexplored adventure and untold stories, from the rock art of the fearless San people, to the diamond hunters, rare and beautiful once found in abundance here.

Experience the simple way of life of the local Karoo farmers, and be amazed at their adaptability to the harsh environment. A trip to the Namakwa landscape is a must in spring to see nature in her full splendour when the spring rains announce the arrival of the annual wild flower season –truly a sight to behold as carpets of wild flowers canvass the vast plains with vast tracts of contrasting colour.. Whether its adrenaline inducing river adventures, wildlife or bush excursions historical exploration, or just the naked landscape, the Northern Cape is one of Africa's great semi-desert terrains.

Climate

The Northern Cape is a dry region with changing temperatures according to the topographies, and its weather is typical of its desert and semi-desert landscape. Summer temperatures range between 33°C to 36°C, although highs of up to 40°C have been known in December and January. Winter months between June and August bring cooler temperatures of 22°C with cold evening temperatures sometimes dropping below zero. Winter snow can often be seen on the mountains around Sutherland, known to be one of the coldest towns in southern Africa. The annual rainfall is never high, causing dry, desert-like conditions. The western regions enjoy winter rainfall, heralding the start of the Spring Namaqua flowers from late August to the end of September. The central and eastern parts get summer rain from December to February, often accompanied by heavy thunderstorms, allowing for hot summer days and cooler balmy nights.
