About Brandvlei

Brandvlei is proper Karoo country, way out in the Northern Cape, reached mostly via the R27 through Calvinia. It's not a place you stumble on, you plan the drive, with Kenhardt 149 km off and Upington over 260 km away. Long-haul travelers from spots like Graaff-Reinet or Caledon pass through here on bigger road trips. Fuel stops are few and EV charging is basically non-existent, so plan ahead. Fun fact, the town is named after the salt pan nearby that dries out and cracks in summer, giving Brandvlei its name.
