Annie's Cottage - Guest House in Springbok

Namaqualand is famous for the beautiful wildflowers and the tremendous variety of succulents which can be seen in the Goegab Nature Reserve, just 15 kilometres from Springbok, or, further south, in the Skilpad Wildflower Reserve. The new Namaqualand National Park near Kamieskroon will protect the Namaqualand flora with its over 3000 species and also rare animals like the bat-eared fox.

Namaqualand, the area where the desert wildflowers are seen at their best, is bordered in the south by the small town of Garies, in the east by the arid environs of Pofadder, in the north by the Orange River, the border river between South Africa and Namibia. In the west Namaqualand reaches to the rugged coastline of the Atlantic ocean.
