Kenhardt Attractions

Kenhardt lies well off the main tourist routes, 141km/88mi south of Upington on a seemingly endless plateau, a barren region suitable only for sheep-farming.

The town was founded in the early 19th C, when the governor of the Cape Colony sent a force of 20 soldiers to the area to protect the settlers and the north bank of the Orange River from the native population.
