Kuruman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kuruman is a town in Northern Cape province of South Africa, famous for its scenic beauty and the Oog (Eye), a geological feature bringing water from deep underground to the surface in the Kalahari Desert.
The Kuruman River (which is dry except for flash floods after heavy rain (see wadi)), is named after it.
Kuruman was a LMS mission station founded by Robert Moffat and the place where David Livingstone arrived for his first position as a missionary in 1841.
The Kalahari Meerkat Project, made famous by the television series Meerkat Manor, is located nearby.
