The province is great for any kind of road trip whether you are hiring a car in South Africa or are taking your own there always seems to be a fun-filled activity awaiting in this magical part of the world. However, car rental is a great way in which to achieve this.

Today it has captured the imagination of archaeologists the world over, who discovered skeletons and fossils there who were believed to have been the descendants of royalty. Other objects recovered include beads, ivory, animal fossils, pots and gold. It’s said that more than one day is needed to experience the magnitude of the area and if you would like to camp it will cost around R200 a night or R950 a night for a cottage.
