Riemvasmaak Hot Springs Northern Cape South Africa
I had the privilege of visiting the remote village of Riemvasmaak in the dry, inhospitable far Northern Cape of South Africa.
Riemvasmaak is located near the Orange River, close to the Namibian border. It was originally settled in the early 1930s by people of Xhosa, Damara, Herero, Nama, and Coloured origin, but in the early 1970s the community was sent back to their ethnic homelands, some of them to Namibia, by the apartheid government to make place for a military testing site. The area remained a military testing site until 1994, when a process of land restitution allowed the return of families and communities. Some of the Namibian Riemvasmakers returned but a residual group founded their own traditional authority.
It's remote, barren and dry, and if solitude is what you're looking for, it probably doesn't get any better.

I’m Chris, video creator, and lover of road tripping & the great outdoors. Now exploring the off the beaten track, hidden places of Africa, and sharing the adventure in video, photos and words. Kangela is aimed at those who want to experience gravel road travel and off road adventures, but who don’t care as much about the vehicle that gets them there, as they do about the journey itself and the destination.
I try to provide useful tips and background information about the unusual places that we visit, as well as endeavouring to draw attention to conservation, my intention is always to inform, educate and entertain.
