Richtersveld Local Municipality

Rainfall is minimal and water is a scarce commodity, yet the vast plains, which are considered a special place by some, are still a very beautiful region with unique characteristics that attract thousands of tourists. In Port Nolloth there is the ocean, at Alexander Bay there is the Orange River, and at Lekkersing, Eksteenfontein, Kuboes and Sanddrift we offer a rich culture of diversity.
