Our Port Nolloth-based tour operator, Richtersveld Tours is a family business which not only offers tours to the Northern Cape and Namakwaland but also into the scenic Karoo as well as to the Western Cape province of South Africa.

Our Tours 

We specialize in travelling into the Richtersveld, a World Heritage site and home to the Nama (Khoisan) people. Embrace yourself in an authentic experience with history, cultural interaction and beautiful sceneries - an experience that will stay with you forever. 

Our speciality is also small group tours - from two to eight guests - to the Diamond Coast of South Africa and excursions into the Namaqualand to see desert flowers, indigenous succulent plants as well as wildlife and seal colonies. 

Alternatively, join us for game viewing and a photographic safari in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, visit the Augrabies Falls, put up tent and overnight on the shores of the mighty Orange River where stargazing is amazing, or come with us and experience a historical town walk through the diamond city of Kimberley and check out the stunning open air mine museum of this diamond digger town in its early days where you can also look into the Big Hole, the world-wide largest, hand-dug diamond excavation. 

While our tours normally start and end in Port Nolloth, arrangements can be made to be picked up at the airport in Upington or Cape Town. Whenever possible we will customize the tour to specifically cater for your interests, whether landscape photography, local culture or just the unspoilt beauty of the Richtersveld. We will also supply everything needed on the tour, including vehicles, well maintained equipment, putting up camp (if camping), preparing meals, among others, as well as accommodation in Port Nolloth before and after the tour. 

We supply an all in one service! You just bring your clothes and camera, we'll do the rest! Our professional guides have a good general knowledge of our area and we believe in travelling and exploring where safety is our first priority!
