Main Content

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.

Photo Fossil Hunt

Bushmanland Crafts and Tours, Northern Cape, South Africa offers an unique “Photo Fossil Hunt” on ancient rock face near Kenhardt, the heart land of engravings in the region, 110 km South from Upington. These outcrops include the beautiful quiver tree forest, 10km from Kenhardt as well as others outcrops surrounding Kenhardt. The quiver trees bloom from April to June and it is a perfect time to visit the region.

This is not an ordinary experience. With your camera in hand and a short free course given by us, you will enjoy the fresh air and the wide open space on these outcrops. Rock and Petroglyphs became very special to us. After 20 years we came to the conclusion that rock art refers to something that got fossilized in these outcrops. Interesting petroglyphs e.g. dinosaurs and footprints to be seen.
