Booking

This settlement in the Richtersveld, Northern Cape province of South Africa, was named after the Reverend Peter Eksteen who served the first church congregation in 1945. The population consists of a group of people originally known as 'Bo-Sluis Basters' who settled there in the 1940's as a result of the apartheid policies of the time. Today the community thrives on stock farming and working on the various diamond mines in the Richtersveld. Things to do: Take a Donkey cart Ride from Eksteenfontein to the Rooiberg Conservancy Area. Local field guides take visitors to see a wide variety of some very rare, succulents.
