The Richtersveld National Park is home to the only true mountain desert in South Africa. It is situated in the Northern Cape on the border with Namibia and forms part of the Ai-Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier Park. On tour, you will see impressive rock formations, abundant succulents and endemic plant life such as the famed Quiver trees, massive aloes and, ‘halfmense’(’semi-human’ trees) set majestically within an all-encompassing silence. We also visit some of the communities.
The route follow the Orange River to its mouth and from Port Nolloth we head back to Springbok where the 5-day tour begins and ends.
