The Richtersveld National Park is situated in the far north of South Africa on the border with Namibia and adjacent to the Ai-Ais National Park. Together these two parks form a Trans-Frontier Park and it is possible to cross from one to the other via the Pont across the Orange River and as long as you have your passport with you.
The mighty Orange River bisects this otherwise arid landscape that is characterized by rugged mountains and harsh landscapes. Despite this harshness there is a staggering assortment of pant life which in turn support a large diversity of reptiles, birds and mammals. This area is home to the strange looking half-mens plant and Giant Quiver Trees. The park is only accessible by means of a 4x4.
