Reasons to Visit & Things to Do

Viewed as the hub of the Northern Karoo or Southern Green Kalahari, Kenhardt provides easy two wheel drive access to the larger surrounding towns of the Orange River, the eerily modern “ghost town “of Putsonderwater, the glistering  sun-bakes flats of Verneukpan, the unique raising orange-and-red bed of the Rooiberg Dam, and the timeless mystical peace of the large quivertree forest just outside the town.  Several rock engraving sites can be viewed by private tours.

Unusual wide streets is unique to Kenhardt.  With mainly the farming of Dorper sheep in the surrounding farms, Kenhardt is also called “The Heart of Dorperland.
