Each of South Africa’s provinces has something special to offer. The Northern Cape Province has many unique and unexplored attributes. The Province is the largest in terms of size in the country and has a coastline of approximately 300km. It is also the least densely populated province in the country. The competitive advantage that we hold as the Northern Cape is our tremendous geographic size, our mineral riches, our sun, wind and hydro-energy resources and our fresh produce, including vegetables, grains, fruit and protein. We are also home to the best wines in the country. Awe-inspiring landscapes and beautiful fauna and flora define our tourism offering.
