South Africa: Namaqualand Touring Map (Edition 1)

Tracks4Africa is proud to announce our very first touring map for the Namaqualand region, the Namaqualand Touring Map.
This also marks our first release in the Slingsby Maps series. It was designed by us from the ground up to honor Peter Slingsby’s legacy of exceptional cartography.

This map covers the popular Namaqualand flower region and would be a great companion on such road trips. During our research we crisscrossed the area in 4WD vehicles and on adventure motorbikes. We were impressed by the great number of tracks that would suit this style of travelling.

The area has a lot more to offer than just the flower season. In low season it makes for remarkable remote travel. It is reachable in about a five-hour drive from Cape Town.

Overview

The Namaqualand Touring Map is purpose-built for immersive road trips and detailed exploration. At a scale of 1:250 000, it not only guides you along the region’s main routes but also reveals the hidden tracks and lesser-known roads. These invite further discovery throughout this iconic landscape.

Coverage Area: Extending from Clanwilliam in the south to Port Nolloth and Vioolsdrift in the north, the map captures the heart of Namaqualand and beyond. To the west, it follows the rugged West Coast. Meanwhile, to the east it reaches well beyond the N7 to include the scenic Kamiesberge and the renowned wildflower landscapes around Niewoudtville.

Park Highlights: The map includes the entire Namakwa National Park and, furthermore, clearly highlights the Caracal Eco Trail. This makes navigation straightforward and helps travellers explore this remarkable landscape with confidence.

Community & Research Focus

Built on trusted Tracks4Africa data and augmented with topographical and land-use detail, this Namaqualand Touring Map is the result of weeks of dedicated field research.

We are incredibly grateful for the on-the-ground support provided by the Namaqua Coastal Route committee.
