Namakwa is a tourist destination of choice where tourists can watch wild flowers during the spring. The banks of the Orange River as well as the Namakwa coastline offer great hiking and 4x4 excursions for the outdoor enthusiast, while the nomadic Nama culture of the region is a unique drawcard. Stargazing in Sutherland, tasting Karoo Lamb chops in the Hantam area and picturesque scenic drives in the Kamiesberg are also popular among our existing tourist market.
The Namakwa region consists of the former Namaqualand and Hantam Karoo regions, and is bordered by the Orange River to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Geographically, the region can be described as a semidesert area with hot summers, little rainfall and cold winters.
Namakwa is a tourist-friendly destination, welcoming tourists from all over South Africa and abroad.
The cache was placed with the permission of the Tourism Office and is on the outside of the offices. It is therefor accessible at all times and large enough for trackables and small swops.
The combination to the lock is the South and East Degrees only of the location of the cache. Please align the combination on the top of the cache (between the ends of the cable) and not on the outward side.
With or without flowers, Namaqualand is a beautiful part of South Africa. Enjoy your visit.
