Die Blou Huis! Die Hel Se Pad-Pas en Bagdad n moet!

Ons gaan Kuier op Nieuwoudville en kamp saam vriende by die Blou Huis daar. Ond ry die Hel se Pas-pad en gaan eet Bagdad! Nieuwoudtville is 'n klein dorp in die Noord-Kaap, in Suid-Afrika. Die dorp is in 1897 deur die Nieuwoudt familie gestig. Die Nieuwoudtvillewaterval is naby die dorp terwyl die Vanrhynspas net wes van die dorp op die R27-provinsiale pad is. he Nieuwoudtville Waterfall, situated on the Doorn River, is 7km north of Nieuwoudtville on the R357 (Loriesfontein Road). This 90m waterfall is a spectacular sight when water thunders down into the deep pool during our rainy season. Feel free to enjoy a sun downer and admire the impressive views of the gorge. About Quiver Tree Forest Quiver trees are a kind of aloe that are as beautiful as they are full of character. They are reminiscent of a wilder Africa, where only the toughest survive. Also known as kokerboom trees, these are part of the aloe family (Aloe dichotoma) and are characterised by branches that split into smaller sections, and by the hardy succulent leaves that are designed to weather the heat. Did you know? In times gone by, though, these trees were used by the ancient hunter-gatherer folk, who hollowed out the branches and used them as quivers for their arrows. They were strong and durable; ideal for this purpose. Today, the quiver tree forest is perched between Nieuwoudtville and Loeriesfontein in the Northern Cape Province. It is on the border of the Gannabos Protected Area, which is a wild flower reserve. Visiting this area gives you a sense of solitude and tranquillity, which is complemented by the warmth and hospitality of the locals. It is this unique air of celebrating beauty that is sometimes stark, and sometimes bold, that makes the quiver tree forest so very memorable. Nieuwoudtville is about four hours from Cape Town and five hours from Upington. It has been dubbed “the bulb capital of the world” and is part of the exquisite Namaqua region of South Africa.
