The small town of Lekkersing lies nestled in the hills of the Richtersveld.

The local community are developing a campsite at “Koerdap”, 10km outside of the town. Here you can explore the interesting countryside in the cool mornings, relax under shady trees during the heat of the day and enjoy the sunset from the surrounding hills.

As yet, there are no ablution facilities at the campsite and no running water, but Lekkersing is nearby and basic provisions and fresh water can be obtained from here.

There is a quartzite mine where flagstones and tombstones are cut, in the area. Skurwehoog caves are also 30km from Lekkersing on the road to Kuboes. No ablution facilities or drinking water is available there.

Kalkfontein is situated halfway between Lekkersing and Eksteensfontein. Many different species of imported caged birds can be seen,as well as wild encamped Ostriches. Horse rides can be arranged.

If you're interested in local craft, ask about “Rusoord”, a community workgroup that make “riempie” chairs, “veld skoene”, matjieshuts, dresses and “kappies”.
