Natural & Cultural History
An international treaty, signed on 1 August 2003, incorporated the Ai–Ais Hot Springs Game Park in Namibia and |Ai-|Ais/Richtersveld National Park in South Africa, resulting in the establishment of the |Ai-|Ais/Richtersveld Transfrontier National Park.
One of the main features of the combined park is the world’s second largest canyon – the Fish River Canyon.
At Sendelingsdrift, on the South African side, a pontoon has been established to ferry people and vehicles across the Orange River. The pontoon has a carrying capacity of a 32-seater bus or two fully loaded double cab 4×4 vehicles.
