Prince Albert is subject to extremely high temperatures in summer and comfortable conditions during winter. Summer and winter blend into one another, leaving only a few days for spring and autumn. Prince Albert's dry heat leaves no moisture in the air, making it an ideal place for hunting. This dry heat easily reaches 40° Celsius in the summer with an average of 17° in the winter months.

Prince Albert is known for its sun-ripened fresh and dried fruit, especially figs and apricots. In the Prince Albert Valley, to the south of the village, farmers have restored vineyards last farmed in the 19th century. Karoo lamb, olives, olive oil and cheese are local delicacies. Prince Albert is well situated for overnight stops from Gauteng, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. The Garden Route resorts and beaches lie a two hour drive to the south. Oudtshoorn, the Cango Caves and the Karoo National Park are just an hour's drive away.

Prince Albert History

Prince Albert was founded in 1762 on the loan farm De Queek Vallei with Zacharias De Beer as its first incumbent. Originally known as Albertsburg, when it obtained municipal status in 1845 it was renamed Prince Albert in honour of Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg.
