Every year as spring approaches, the Cape bursts into spectacular colour to celebrate its arrival. Explore the glorious flower route. The flower season is at its best from August to October in the Western and Northern Cape. An incredible 4 000 flower species can be found in the wild or at one of the numerous nature reserves and botanical gardens in this region, from Darling 80km north of Cape Town, across to Lambert 's Bay and inland to Clanwilliam and further north.
Namaqualand is especially renowned for its flower displays, but places further south are just as worthy of a visit. To enter the flower region take the R27 from Cape Town to Velddrif, or the N7 from Cape Town all the way up to Namibia
Because the flower region is so vast it might be best to stay in one or two places and explore the region from there.
