Experience the Namakwa Flower Season
The Namakwa region of the Northern Cape is a land of stark contrasts, where the harsh desert landscape transforms into a vibrant tapestry of colours during the flower season. This natural wonder attracts thousands of visitors each year, and for good reason.
When to Visit
The Namakwa flower season typically takes place from early July to mid-September, depending on the rainfall. The flowers usually bloom for about six weeks, with the peak period usually occurring in late August.
What to Expect
The Namakwa region is home to over 4,000 plant species, many of which are found nowhere else in the world. During the flower season, the landscape is painted with vibrant colours, from the bright oranges and yellows of the Namaqualand daisies to the delicate pinks and whites of the quiver trees.
