Flower Season
Part of the semi-desert Succulent Karoo biome, Namaqualand is home to the richest bulb flora of any arid region in the world and more than 1 000 of its estimated 3 500 plant species are found nowhere else on earth. When compared to regions with similar semi-arid environments, the richness of this biome is exceptional.
During early August and September, seemingly overnight, the dusty valleys of Namaqualand are transformed in to a wonderland, carpeted with wildflowers that draw visitors from around the country and from abroad.
Experience the Flowers
- Stay in luxury amidst the flowers in the temporary Namaqua Flowers Beach Camp.
- Walk the Skilpad and Korhaan Trails that offer great views of the spectacular display.
- A circular drive with viewpoints is available during the spring flowering season.
