WHEN TO VISIT
WHEN TO VISIT
SPRING – AUG | SEPT
The wild flowers start to bloom from early August, up north near the Namibian Border. Goegap Nature Reserve and the town of Springbuck, Port Nolloth are the places to visit, which requires at least a week.
The bloom slowly spreads south getting to central Northern Cape (bulb capital) by mid to late August. End August to mid Sept it peaks in West Coast National Park.
This is a general as each year the intensity and locations vary. But what remains consistent is it starts early up north and later down south.
Spring colours reach Cape Town in Sept and stay until late October. The overberg and surrounding Western Cape have beautiful landscapes at this time too.
