- Brandvlei ist eine Kleinstadt in der Gemeinde Hantam, Distrikt Namakwa, Provinz Nordkap in der Republik Südafrika. Sie liegt 120 Kilometer von Loeriesfontein im Kreuzungsbereich der Straßen R27 und R357. Im Jahre 2011 hatte sie 2859 Einwocher. Benannt ist die Stadt nach einem Voortrekker mit dem Nachnamen Brand. Er kampierte an dieser Stelle beim Sakrivier, einem Trockenfluss, der nur nach ergiebigen Regenfällen Wasser führt. Vlei bedeutet „Sumpf“ auf Afrikaans, eine irreführende Bezeichnung, da es hier nur selten Wasser gibt. Die heutige trockene Halbwüstenlandschaft rund um die Stadt war während des Miozän subtropisch; viele Fossilienfunde belegen dieses. (de)
- Brandvlei is a small town in the Karoo region of the Northern Cape, South Africa. This is where a 19th-century trekboer called Ou Brand settled. Brand camped at this spot at the Sakrivier, a dry river bed, which only occasionally had water after good rains – and which typically result in flash floods. The settlement was cut in two by such a flood in 1961. After it was recovered, a municipality was formed in 1962. This Brandvlei is located in the Bushmanland, also known as the Thirst Land, Dorsland in Afrikaans and should not be confused with the Brandvlei south of Worcester in the Western Cape. From 1974 until 2005 it was the location of an entire Long Range Artillery Battalion of the SADF, co-located with a Helicopter Transport Squadron and a Ground Attack Jet Squadron of the SAAF This area was once sub-tropical, such as during the Miocene period. Many fossils have that been found in the area attest to this fact. From 1910 the farmers used an irrigation method comparable to one used for thousands of years by the Egyptians. The surface is very flat, and water does not run away easily. This way the rainwater is spread over a larger area and are allowed to sink into the soil. The moisture in the area is enough to farm with crops on a very small scale. Farmers live on these crops once the rains have gone. On the long run this method is not feasible, as evaporating water leaves behind salt and other minerals. Today this method is no longer used. This region contains very little vegetation, primarily very low shrubs and yellow grass among a rocky desert kind of landscape. If you travel north from Brandvlei towards Kenhardt, you will pass through a huge landscape of nothingness for the next 200 km and more. During the seasons many birds flock to the pans, when they contain water, after some rainfall. Temperature above 40 °C is not uncommon. (en)

- Brandvlei is een dorp gelegen in de gemeente Hantam in de regio Karoo in de Zuid-Afrikaanse provincie Noord-Kaap. Brandvlei is gelegen in de buurt van een grootte zoutpan in de streek "Boesmanland", ook wel bekend als Dorsland en moet niet worden verward met het Brandvlei gelegen ten zuiden van Worcester in de provincie West-Kaap. In de omgeving van Brandvlei wordt zout gewonnen en er zijn ook verschillende bosjesmantekeningen te zien. (nl)
