Namaqualand

Little Namaqualand is within the Namakwa District Municipality, forming part of Northern Cape Province, South Africa.

The semidesert Succulent Karoo region experiences hot summers, sparse rainfall, and cold winters.

Famed for its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, its wild flowers during spring, its wealth of minerals, and cultural history, Namaqualand is a popular region for international and local tourists.

The natural landscape is continually monitored with the first sign of spring and flower season being the arrival of Namakwa daisies.

This conservation area is a great biodiversity hotspot, with the highest concentration of succulent plants of any of the world's arid regions.

The town of Alexander Bay is located 5 km (3.1 mi) away opposite the river on the South African side and is linked to Oranjemund by the Ernest Oppenheimer Bridge.
