Richtersveld Wildweness Camp

Richtersveld Wilderness Camp is a privately owned campsite situated on the banks of the Orange River near Vioolsdrift, in the stark and dramatic mountains of the Richtersveld in South Africa's Northern Cape.

The camp offers a lush, shaded contrast to the surrounding desert landscape, with grassed sites, individual sinks and tables, and rustic ablution facilities.

Activities in the area include swimming, fishing, kayaking, and 4x4 trails through the ancient desert terrain.

The camp serves as a base for exploring one of the world's oldest mountain deserts and has been a staging point for multi-day trail running events through the Richtersveld Transfrontier region.
