The Northern Cape is more commonly known as a vast arid region, but it is home to some of the most amazing natural wonders in the country, including the Augrabies Falls National Park. Aukoerebis is Khoi for ‘place of the great noise’ and the national park is sprawled over an 820 km2 area that stretches across the Orange River, which is a sight to behold in a dry, desert setting. What to do… Visit the Big Hole in Kimberley to learn about an incredibly rich part of South Africa’s history. Not only will you see what is thought to be one of the largest diamond excavations dug by hand, which is impressive by its sheer scale, but you can also experience what it was like living during those times at the Kimberley Mine Museum. And if stargazing is your thing, you are in for a treat in the Northern Cape, which is home to the Square Kilometre Array Project. Where to stay…
