Kleinzee Caravan Park

Kleinzee Caravan Park is in the stunning Namaqualand region, which spreads over 1,000 kilometres of Namibia and the Northern Cape, and is famous for its spring wildflowers. Luckily, there are plenty of ways for you to explore it. Namaqua National Park is roughly an hour’s drive from the site, and is a must-visit for hikes, leopard-spotting, dunes, ancient caves and the carpet of flowers that covers the park during the spring. At Richtersveld World Heritage Site, two-and-a-half hours from Kleinzee, you can go off-roading, take a hike, go fishing in South Africa’s longest river or learn about the culture of the Nama people. The nearest major town to Kleinzee is Springbok, and you should make your way here to explore Goegap Nature Reserve (there are hiking, cycling and mountain biking trails to follow) or to visit the country’s first commercial mine (Blue Mine) and learn its history at Nababeep Mining Museum. If you’re lucky enough to be continuing your journey beyond Kleinzee, Table Mountain and the beaches, museums and restaurants of Cape Town are seven hours south of the village, and Upington – the starting point for safaris into the Kalahari desert – is a five-hour drive to the north east.
