The Best Small Town in South Africa
St Lucia in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park should be named the best small town in South Africa.
It must be hands down the best place we've been to in a long time.
Whether its, friendly people, luxury, adventure, wildlife, beach, fishing.... or a spa... it's here. No other place in South Africa has all of this literally in town
We think this track Paint the Sky captures St Lucia perfectly...... TURN UP THE VOLUME.... and catch a glimpse into our trip with Tori & Michelle around the town.... Paint the Sky!

Kenhardt, Northern Cape, South Africa
Kenhardt (founded 1868) is a small town in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. This little town is about 120 km fromUpington, the largest town in the area.
History
On December 27, 1868, special magistrate Maximillian Jackson with a police contingent was sent to act against the Griquas in the area. The Griqua's anti-colonial resistance had erupted into an open conflict. Jackson arrived in Kenhardt and set up camp under a giant camelthorn tree.
Kenhardt has been, for a long time the most remote settlement in the North-Western Cape. With time the town developed from under this tree, becoming a municipality in 1909. The Hartbees River, with its many sweet thorn trees, provides a green belt irrigated by the Rooiberg Dam. Kenhardt is famous for being at the heart of the Dorper sheep-farming area.
Geography
This region contains little vegetation, primarily low shrubs and yellow grass among a rocky, desert kind of landscape. If you travel south from Kenhardt towards Brandvlei, you will pass through a vast landscape of nothingness for the next 200 km and more. During the seasons, many birds flock to the pans, when they contain water, after some rainfall. Temperature above 40°C is not uncommon.
Activities
Visit the Quiver Tree Forest, Kokerboom Woud in Afrikaans, about 8 km south of Kenhardt on the main route to Cape Town. Some of these trees have specially formed weaver birds nests. The forest comprises approximately 4,000 to 5,000 Kokerbome.
Walk the legendary geological granite metamorphic outcrops of the area. Along the trail, all kind of quartz lies scattered.
Tours to the pans on the outlying farms where you can view San artwork– also known as Bushman– and enjoy the farm hospitality as well as a hiking trail where Anglo-Boer War remains, and the beautiful landscape can be experienced.
Make your discoveries on fossilized foot impressions and engravings.
