West Coast Flowers

Springtime is flower time and this flower tour is offered from August to September when the West Coast is transformed into a wild flower wonderland.

Featuring:

  • Heading North from Cape Town, our first stop is at Bloubergstrand where one can enjoy the postcard view of Table Mountain with the endless beaches of Table Bay in the foreground; the Bay frequented by colourful windsurfers on windy days.
  • From here we head North to visit the arid and desolate West Coast.
  • We reach the West Coast National Park, and pay a leisurely visit to Postberg, an ecologically sensitive area that is specially opened to the public during the brief flower season. Most of the time will be spent in this area so that the flowers can be enjoyed to the fullest.
  • On route back to Cape Town, we stop at the Tienie Versfeld Flower reserve for a brief view of this transformed wonderland,
  • Time permitting, we visit the seaside village of Yzerfontein, a popular holiday venue.
  • Lunch is a gourmet picnic basket enjoyed in Postberg Nature reserve.
