Kamieskroon

Kamieskroon is a pretty village situated on the N7 50km north of Garies and 67km south of Springbok. Set beneath the kroon (crown), the rocky pinnacle of the Kamiesberg Mountains from which it takes its name, it really gives a feeling of being the crown of the 'Garden of the Gods'.
Heading deeper into the mountains towards Nourivier and Leliefontein, you’ll be rewarded by the sight of amazing rock formations and stunning flower strewn slopes. The charming old Moravian mission station of Leliefontein is the oldest village in Namaqualand and has National Monument status. Here you enter Nama community owned farmlands and you’ll find families living in matjieshuise – traditional dome-shaped huts made out of reed mats.
Where are the flowers? Visit the Namaqua National Park (particularly Skilpad) and also take the Kamieskroon and Studer passes to Nourivier and Leliefontein. Namaqua National Park: 027 672 1948
Adventurous? Stay overnight in a matjieshuis and eat local food like asbrood en bloodpap. Contact the Leliefontein community project on 027 672 1808.
