Hotels in Northern Cape, South Africa

The Northern Cape is South Africa's largest province, a vast arid region with hot summers (up to 104°F/40°C) and mild winters (around 60°F/15°C). It's famous for the diamond rush at Kimberley's Big Hole and the wildflower explosion in Namaqualand during spring (August-September). In the cooler months, you can spot lions and cheetahs in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, while summer is perfect for visiting the historic mining museum in Kimberley or hiking the Augrabies Falls when the Orange River is low.
