This far-flung, lesser-visited park offers stunning rock formations, rolling grasslands, wildflowers and a feeling of isolation. Bearded vultures and rheboks can be viewed here, along with some of the country's most well-preserved San cave paintings, and in the summer angling is possible in the dams and rivers.
Come well prepared for the changing elements: this is a summer-rainfall area and thick mist, potentially hazardous to hikers, is common. The winters are clear, but it gets cold at night with occasional light snowfalls.
