A museum tells the history of this interesting little town. It lies on the periphery of the Richtersveld National Park and guided trails into the Richtersveld can be arranged from here.

The “Plantasie” is a community run campsite that provides an interesting traditional alternative to camping. With an hours notice, the friendly locals can erect a “Matjies Hut”. Roomy and cool, it provides protection from the heat of the day and comforting shelter at night.

Fresh provisions are hard to come by in this part of the world so bring all your supplies with you or give the town a few days notice and they will provide you with traditional homemade meals. Braai and basic ablution facilities are available at the campsite, but water may be a problem, so bring along water containers.

The beautiful old church, erected in 1893, will soon be declared as a national monument.
