Norokei Pan is a salt lake located on the R360 road between Askham and Upington in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. The landscape surrounding the pan is stark and treeless, characterized by a series of low red dunes running north-south. The pan itself is typically dry, holding only a few pools of standing water after rainfall events. A salt mining operation is present at the site. The aesthetic is one of remote desolation, offering intense Kalahari sunset colors of orange and violet. For paddlers, this indicates that viable paddling is highly seasonal and entirely dependent on recent, significant rainfall; the water body cannot be relied upon for year-round activity. There is a seldom-used campsite on a nearby farm, advertised by a small roadside sign. This campsite is well-maintained and offers a potential base, though facilities are minimal. The area is sparsely populated, contributing to a quiet and isolated atmosphere. Wildlife sightings can include birds such as Pale Chanting Goshawk and Black-chested Snake Eagle, as well as mammals like the Bat-eared Fox. Paddlers must inquire locally about current water levels and any permissions required from the farm or mining operation before planning a trip.
