Kai Reisen: Springbok

Springbok South Africa

The town lies at an elevation of 1,007 metres (3,304 feet) in a narrow valley between the high granite domes of the Klein Koperberge (Small Copper Mountains). This name reveals the reason for the early settlement, which gradually developed into a major commercial and administrative centre for copper mining operations in the region. Although the town initially grew rapidly, this slowed when rich copper deposits were discovered in Okiep. As the main source of water, Springbok continued to develop as the commercial and administrative centre for the various mines in the area.
