Groblershoop Green Kalahari | Northern Cape

Founded in 1936 and named after a former Minister of Agriculture, Groblershoop is a farming and administrative centre in the Orange River Valley, east of Upington. In a land of contrasts, through arid hills and plains, twists a green ribbon, bringing life and prosperity.

Welcome to this historicaly filled village located at the gateway to the Green Kalahari where you will find landmarks such as the historic water turbine driven by solid-oak gears in the Orange River on the farm Winstead build in 1913,

The successful stock farming and wine production in the region is built on hard work and pioneering spirit of early residents. Not only the ancient donkey made it’s mark in the Groblershoop area!

Development in the region was really kick started by the construction of the Boegoeberg dam a watersports and anglers’ Mecca surrounded by red Kalahari dunes, quiver trees and water channels established in 1929.

Groblershoop is currently a main source of export for table grapes and sultanas.
A modern abattoir with 130 employees processes livestock from surrounding farms, while the local wine cellars, open for wine tastings and tours has an annual intake of 12 000 tons of grapes.
