This landscape is periodically plagued by drought and scorching sunshine yet it has been astonishingly blessed with some of the most dramatic displays of natural beauty. Nowhere is this more visible than in Namaqualand, one of the six floral kingdoms of the world. In spring, the plains burst into flower creating a breathtaking carpet of brilliant colour. The Akkerdam Nature reserve consist mostly of the Hantam Mountain. Guests can explore the rustic area by one of the various hiking trails that the area offers. The 2 km, hour long, Kareeboom route was designed with senior citizens in mind and takes guests along the Hantam Mountain. The Sterboom route takes guests along the easterly side of the Hantam Mountain and up to the Plato. This route takes approximately 6 to 7 hours to complete. For the avid bird watchers the Kareedam serves as an oasis for the migrating birds. Birdwatchers can expect up to 65 different bird species at this reserve.
