The Kokerboom Biological Research Station is an 850-hectare property nestled among the pristine koppies of Namaqualand, approximately 5 km outside Springbok in the Northern Cape. This region is renowned for its exceptional floristic diversity, with numerous plant species endemic to the area.

The station aims to offer secure, affordable accommodation and fieldwork facilities to students from both local and international universities, while also promoting collaborative research efforts.

The Kokerboom Biological Research Station  is the brainchild of a team of herpetologists, and although current projects on the farm are mainly reptile-related, we enthusiastically welcome students and research teams interested in a broad range of disciplines. The area is rich in biodiversity—including mammals, birds, plants, invertebrates—as well as geological features, all of which warrant further exploration and research.
