Location & Surroundings

The Hidden Gem of the Northern Cape, nestled in the heart of South Africa’s Northern Cape province, Kathu is a charming town known as the iron ore capital of the region and affectionately nicknamed “The Town Under the Trees.” This name reflects the town's unique setting in one of the world’s only two natural Camel Thorn tree forests. These majestic Acacia erioloba trees create a serene and shaded landscape unlike anywhere else.

The Kathu Camel Thorn Forest spans around 4,000 hectares and is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including the remarkable Sociable Weaver birds, which build their enormous nests in the trees. The forest was declared a State Forest in the early 20th century and became a registered Natural Heritage Site in 1995. Some trees here are believed to be over 300 years old. The biodiversity includes numerous endemic and protected species, making Kathu a haven for nature lovers and birdwatchers.

Kathu is centrally located—about two hours from both Upington and Vryburg, with Kimberley just three hours away and Kuruman a short 20-minute drive. Its location makes it a convenient stop on a Northern Cape road trip.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Kathu offers a well-maintained 18-hole golf course and a nearby game reserve, where visitors can enjoy sightings of local wildlife in a peaceful setting. The town also boasts a sports complex with tennis courts and a swimming pool, perfect for families and active travellers.

History lovers will appreciate a visit to Kathu Townlands, one of the richest archaeological sites in Southern Africa. Here, researchers uncovered thousands of stone tools, including hand axes estimated to be up to one million years old—an extraordinary glimpse into early human history.

Whether you're exploring the ancient forest, teeing off on the golf course, or uncovering deep human history, Kathu is a unique South African destination that blends natural beauty, outdoor adventure, and cultural heritage in a truly unforgettable way.
