Witsand Nature Reserve – Olifantshoek area, Northern Cape

There are many people who don’t care to visit the Big 5 game reserves time after time. Sometimes they want something entirely different and perhaps even more peaceful. Witsand Nature Reserve is an exceptional eco-destination and is considered to be a gem of the Green Kalahari. Choose wonderful family accommodation, couples’ accommodation or other accommodation options. One thing is sure, these Northern Cape reserves promise a romantic getaway.

You get the “roaring” white sand dunes of Witsand Nature Reserve, which are a mysterious natural phenomenon where the sands make a reverberating humming sound. You can drive yourself or go on a guided trip to the Roaring Sands.

Witsand Nature Reserve has many animals that you hear spoken about, but you never see them. I’m talking about animals such as pangolins and aardvarks.
