With so much to see and do in and around Springbok, it would be unjust to visit this fascinating town for its flowers alone. Springbok is steeped in a mining history of days when prospectors descended upon the town in the hope of discovering persistently illusive treasure. The town owes its very existence to the early prospectors who toiled tirelessly to unearth the ground's bountiful mineral deposits amongst which, copper was the most significant. When visiting Springbok, be sure to visit Van Der Stel's copper mine (3km south of the Carolusberg), the Blue Mine, the Namaqualand Museum and Nababeep's Mining museum (11kms west of Springbok) with displays of equipment used by the early miners and prospectors. Being the flower capital of Namaqualand, not to be missed are the magnificent reserves established for the protection of the area's prolific wealth of flora and fauna. There's the Skilpad Wildflower Reserve which, because of its close proximity to the West Coast, receives a higher rainfall than other areas, thus the abundance of flora in this beautiful park. The Goegap Nature Reserve(15kms east of Springbok on the road to Poffadder) with its granite peaks and sandy plains offers a wealth of succulents, abundant bird life and approximately 45 mammal species. There are several guided walking trails, mountain bike trails, scenic drives and four wheel drive trails to choose from in the area. Further information is available from your information desk at Mountain View Guest House. Maggie Cornelissen will gladly assist you in making arrangements for any of the activities mentioned above.
