Springbok Travel Guide

Map of Springbok

Springbok – the Pride of the Northern Cape. The Heart of Namaqualand. Town of Diamonds, Copper and Spring flowers!

 

Springbok lies in a deep low plain between rugged mountains, about 600 km north of Cape Town. It is the commercial and cultural centre of Namaqualand, located directly on the N7 which connects the Cape and the Namibian capital Windhoek.

 

Springbok is the ideal overnight stop, as it lies halfway between Cape Town and Windhoek. From here, there are only small settlements further north with few facilities.

 

It is a perfect place to end a tour of the Namaqualand flowers.
