The Green Kalahari: a unique bucket list destination

Now is the best time to create a bucket list of adventurous things to do while you visit the Kalahari this year.

The Green Kalahari is a good enough reason itself to go and adventure to the Northern Cape. Located not far from where the Orange River flows into a deep stone gorge to create the well-known Augrabies Falls, the lush green vineyards all around the valley bear colourful fruits.

It is known for being one of the quietest places on earth since there is no cellphone reception, people or noise. Only you and total peace. A place to be alone or spend some quality time with friends and family in the presence of magnificent surrounds.

The Green Kalahari is a highly contrasted landscape and this is what makes it so unique. Since the wildlife basically roams free in certain parts of the Green Kalahari, this makes it ideal for a great camping spot, with no city life around you. You will be surrounded by animals sleeping and stars shining down on you, emitting a blinding light.

Another wonder the Green Kalahari has to offer is the Verneukpan. Verneukpan is a 57 km long mineral pan. Imagine a place that is bone dry and flat. And as far as the eye can see it remains flat. Not a bush or hill in sight.
