The hauntingly beautiful Richtersveld National Park lies in the great oxbow bend of the mighty Orange River, in the far north-west corner of South Africa. It is a true mountain desert, with contorted rock formations, complex geology, abandoned diamond diggings, sandy river beaches, rough tracks to nowhere and arid plains that stretch as far as the eye can see. Surreal silhouettes of Half-Mens and giant aloes stand in stark relief against cobalt skies.
Yet, despite its harshness, it is a very fragile ecosystem, prone to over utilisation but permeated with an all-pervading aura of peace, solitude and tranquillity. In spite of its sparse vegetation the park protects one of the highest concentrations of endemic succulents on earth. We offer an insightful tour of this remote desert jewel, using a specially designed 4x4 vehicle.
