Northern Cape Tourism Authority

The Northern Cape Tourism Authority are our advertising sponsors and will ensure that your visit to our area is pleasant and enthralling.

Take rugged mountains, endless flatlands and undulating dunes. Add to this diverse scenery, stunning plant life and plentiful game and you have a recipe that will please all eco-adventurers. But what really separates the trails of the Northern Cape from the rest is the seemingly infinite open spaces, mostly devoid of people. The flora of the Northern Cape is world famous, between July and September Namakwa sheds its drab facade and showers the world with flowers of every hue. Nature sheds any pretence at barren aridity and runs riot with tones and rainbow hues of rich and splendid brilliance.

Castle Lager

We are very pleased to have Castle as our official beverages sponsor and beer garden supplier.

You may know Charles Glass as the small bespectacled man often depicted amid an assortment of test tubes and flasks perfecting the taste of what has become South Africa's trademark beer. But who was Charles Glass? From what is known about the legendary brew master, we can gather that he was an entrepreneur of sorts. He came to South Africa in the late 1800s during the Gold Rush. However, he discovered gold of a different form when he hit upon the brewing recipe for a pale-gold coloured liquid - Castle Lager.

Bio Anabolics

We welcome Bio Anabolics on board as our official energy supplier.

Bioanabolics have absolutely zero conversion to any by-products. Therefore, they do not produce any unwanted side effects that may occur when unnatural products are taken, such as stomach discomfort, bloating, water retention and diarrhoea.

Bioanabolics support the energy system directly and enhance the sensors of the nerve system, also directly. They enable athletes and cyclists, for example, to go faster and react faster. Your “fine feeling” like I have called it, nerve system will be more sensible. It enhances the tonus in the muscles and will be able to react better than normal.Bioanabolics are absorbed into the bloodstream where they are eventually absorbed into the muscle tissue and converted naturally into phosphocreatine (energy). This energy compound is directly responsible for explosive energy.
