Richtersveld Transfrontier Park National Park - Most popular Camps

The Richtersveld Transfrontier National Park is a massive 6 045 square kilometre span of desert and mountain scenery. Incorporating part of the !Ai-!Ais Hotspring Game Park in Namibia, it boasts the spectacular Fish River Canyon - the world's second largest canyon - with rocks older than 2 600 million years. The park encompasses two major climatic regions, the warm Succulent Karoo and Nama-Karoo biomes, each with varying rainfall. Summer temperatures can rise to a scorching 52°C, lending this particular South African National Park the name !Ai-!Ais, meaning ‘very hot’.

Richtersveld Park is bisected by the Orange River, which is surrounded by the extraordinary riparian bush. With 560 endemic species, the park also preserves around 2 700 species of plants. Endemic species can be found up in the mountainous regions where soft rainfall is regular. Some of the best known species seen here, the ‘half-mens’ succulents, include quiver trees and giant tree aloes. Five major areas of vegetation to be found here are Mopane woodlands and shrubveld, mixed bushveld, sandveld, riverine woodlands and seasonally flooded and dry grasslands. The succulent Karoo is well known for its phenomenal display of flowers after winter rains, covering the normally arid desert floor in a kaleidoscopic blanket of flowers. more...
