Transformed from an indigenous nursery, the Richtersveld Desert Botanical Garden. This garden, a collaboration between SANParks and the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), features 24 themed floral beds showcasing the unique flora of South Africa’s desert biome. Sendelingsdrift Rest Camp, styled after an old mining camp, offers guests 10 chalets and camping facilities. It serves as the entry point to the South African side of the park and a border post leading to the Namibian side.
