AREA INFORMATION
The Quiver Tree Forest is located on a nearby farm and visitors can see a large collection of quiver trees, so named because the ancient Bushmen used to make the bark into quivers in which to carry their arrows. These trees known as kokkerboom in Afrikaans produce a bright yellow flower and are common in the southern Namib Desert and the northern cape of South Africa but are rare in other areas. The Quiver Tree Forest is badly named because these trees are in fact not trees at all. They do look like a weird kind of tree but they are in fact genus Aloe, called aloe dictoma in Latin, the aloe family is officially a plant and not a tree at all. The second site of interest in the area is also on a local farm and is called the Giants Playground. Here you can see a massive collection of balancing rock formations. Round boulders are piled up on top of each other in the most precarious fashion and you would think that one breath of wind would bring the whole lot crashing down to earth.
