Want to explore the off-beaten path of South Africa? Head North! There are many things to do in Northern Cape, it covers over one-third of the nation’s landmass, an area dominated by heat, aridity, empty spaces, and huge traveling distances. Mostly famous for the diamond mines, the Northern Cape also has a substantial agricultural area around the Orange River, including most of South Africa’s sultana vineyards and obviously wildlife, because it wouldn’t be South Africa if there was no wildlife.
