Namaqua Game Lodge is situated 25km South of Springbok along the N7, main route between Cape Town and Namibia.
Springbok is the Capital of Namaqualand, which is an ideal place from where to explore this area with it's own unique and special charms as well as places of historical interest.
This mountainous game farm is approximately 6000 hectares in size. The peaceful atmosphere and enticing pool makes this the ideal stopover from and to Namibia.
Various game can be seen, such as: Springbok, Gemsbok, Eland, Kudu, Zebra, Ostrich, Blesbuck, Klipspringer, Steenbok and Duiker as well as numerous wild bird species including different breeds of Eagle.
One of the many features is the 4x4 trails. The mountainous terrain has approximately 40km of different 4x4 routes for the outdoor adventure lover.
The Buffelsriver runs through the farm and in the dry season there are seven kilometers of riverbed to explore.
Others trails include Quad Bike trails, mountain bike trails, hiking trails and interesting historical features, such as one of the original routes followed by the Voortrekkers called “Burke's Pass” and the former Northern Boundary of the Cape Colony until 1804 known as the “Buffels River”.
Also on the farm is an historical tree called the “Raadsboom” which was the first meeting place for the district council to meet in the early 1900’s.
Night drives can also be arranged to see “night life” and predators like jackal and other animals including porcupine, bat-eared foxes, links, aardvark, etc.
Namakwaland is known for its beautiful variety of wildflowers in springtime from August to October. Other sightseeing attractions are the diamond operations on the West Coast and the picturesque town of Hondeklipbay.
Due to no light pollution and natural “darkness” on the farm and surrounding areas, this is the ideal place for any stargazer to drift into the stars.
Namaqualand, famous for its wildflower display in spring, was one of the world's most important copper mining areas at the beginning of the 20th century.
Nowadays the diamond mines are more important. Because of its dry desert like climate, agriculture is mainly absent and population density low.
