Yzerfontein

The coastal hamlet of Yzerfontein, which has only 1200 residents, is well-known for its Sixteen Mile Beach, which is the longest continuous expanse of sand on the South African coastline and extends all the way to the West Coast National Park. Natural saltpans, limestone ridges, and fynbos are all present in the breathtaking Sandveld region. Yzerfontein is peaceful for most of the year, but between August and October, when the beautiful wildflowers begin to bloom, it becomes a travel hotspot.

Yzerfontein, as lovely as it is, is more significant as the site of a truly outstanding community effort. The!Khwa ttu empowerment project has become a home for the native San people, a minority community from South Africa who may have been the planet's earliest humans. During an amazing three-hour tour! The San guides of Khwa ttu exhibit significant aspects of their ancestry, such as tracking, hunting, and gathering. Their history is human history, not simply African history.
