Geography: The 'capital' of Namaqualand is situated on the main road north from Cape Town to Namibia, and is the last major town before the border.
History: The town started life when copper began being mined in the area. It was originally named Springbokfontein owing to the large amount of springbok that gathered at a strong spring around which the town steadily grew.
Arts and Culture: There are a number of provincial heritage sites that can be seen by tourists. The smelting furnace that the Cornish miners built in 1866 is the oldest modern smelting furnace in the country, while the original prospecting shaft sunk by Simon van der Stel in 1685 is also a provincial heritage site. Halfway between Kamieskroon and Springbok is an old ngoenie tree, which was used as a 'council tree', where tribal issues of the Nama were resolved.
Science and Nature: Visitors will find fascinating plant species in the area. At the Goegap Nature Reserve there are 580 indigenous species including rare succulents, the quiver tree and annuals. Within the bounds of the reserve is the Hester Malan Wild Flower Reserve, which has spectacular displays of colourful flowers in springtime. This famous flower season starts early September and continues until the end of October.
Entertainment: Springbok has good shopping and as such is a big attraction for locals and people from the surrounding small towns. The Namibian Herero and Ovambo people trade their grass baskets and wooden handmade crafts in Springbok while local food and handmade crafts can be bought.
