Cape Floral Kingdom
Explore breathtaking spots such as the Biedouw Valley and venture into Nieuwoudtville, Postberg, Clanwilliam, and Klein Namakwaland — which are home to rare flowers offering a spectacular display of white, red, orange, yellow, purple, and blue hues. These stunning plants form a part of the Cape Floral Kingdom, making the Cape West Coast one of the richest areas in the world for endemic plant species.
This annual phenomenon occurs when the usually arid landscape is painted with an array of blooming wildflowers, creating a breathtaking and picturesque scene. After good rain, and once the sun comes out, the spring season bring rain daisies, lilac drumsticks, bobbejaantjies, gousblomme, salvia, elandsvy, beesvygies, skaapbossies, waterslaai, and spinnekopblomme, all nestled within the rich Fynbos, Strandveld, and Renosterveld ecosystems.
Taste local cuisine
The diverse flavours on the menu of regional favorites like snoek, West Coast mussels, fresh salads, and South African mini roosterkoek with jam and cheese, koeksisters and skuinskoek could just make this once-in-a-lifetime tour even more memorable. This taste exploration will include the unique and exquisite Weskus wine, the soothing and aromatic rooibos rea, and refreshing craft beer.
