Northern Cape
The small town of Kakamas sits on the banks of the Orange River in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. Despite the arid environment it is a farming area using water from the river to irrigate crops such as grapes, oranges and peaches.
The town was established in 1898 after a devastating drought in the area. Canals, for irrigation, were built by hand and some of the original work is still visible today.
