beauty and Askham is definitely one of them. Although it is small, Askham is not without character. It boasts genuine tranquillity and an ideal destination for the traveller.

Kalahari Red Dune Route
 with dunes averaging 35m in height - breathtaking scenery you’ll never forget.

Explore the fascinating Kalahari at its best, through a wide range of activities including duneboarding, camel riding and 4x4 trailing for the adventurous and game drives, guided walks, birding expeditions and other eco-inclined activities for nature-lovers.
