Many tourists travel through Keimoes en route to the spectacular Augrabies Falls National Park, to see the yearly flower splendour of Namaqualand, the arid beauty of the Richtersveld National Park and West Coast to name just a few. Visitors to Keimoes see Tierberg with the towns name written in white stone on the slopes and where one can take a ride up to the top and see the most beautiful view of the valley below from the look-out point. The historical Water Wheel on the main road is also a favourite stop for taking pictures. The name "Keimoes" means "Big eye". Two possible explanations are given: that it refers to a permanent fountain near the Roman Catholic Mission station or to the magnificent view of the area from Tierberg. Keimoes forms part of the Kai!Garib Municipality with a population of 55 501, which also includes the towns of Kakamas and Kenhardt. Country living at its best where friendly townsfolk can safely go about their daily business.
