About the Richtersveld

The Richtersveld is a unique landscape surrounded by a variety of contrasts. In Port Nolloth you’ll find the ocean, from a distance it looks like a glowing body that lies stretched out before you. At Alexander Bay the Orange River spews out it’s last waters. At Lekkersing and Eksteenfontein there’s no river nor ocean, but underground water that is a little brackish. Rainfall is no familiar face to this area and water is a scarce commodity. Yet the vast plains, which are considered a special place by some, are still a very beautiful region with its unique characteristics that attracts thousands of tourists to the Richtersveld. We can genuinely say that the Richtersveld is a Conservation area. Not only is the geographical area unique, but also its people, which is why this area must manage its resources in an optimal manner.
