1. Postberg Peninsula/ Postberg and West Coast National Park

2. The Darling district
With spring blooms ranging from white daisies to purple skilpadblomme, the Darling district is a favourite among flower lovers. Diarise the Darling Wildflower Show next year with its beautiful displays as well as live entertainment, craft stalls and tractor rides.

4. The Cederberg
In the heart of the Cederberg mountains lies the Biedouw Valley, known for its wide array of bulbous flowers. Although much of the veld is now cultivated, it’s still well worth a visit. Spend a night on one of the farms in the valley, such as Enjo Nature Farm, which offers rustic, self-catering cottages and a small campsite next to the river. This is hands-down one of the best spots to see the spring flowers in South Africa.
5. Hantam Bokkeveld
The Nieuwoudtville Wildflower Reserve and Hantam National Botanical Garden just outside Nieuwoudtville offer some of the finest displays in the Cape. Visit the Kokerboom Forest on Brandkop Farm north of town, and the dazzling fields of colour on Matjiesfontein Farm south of town.
6. Kamieskroon and Namaqua National Park
Namaqua National Park near Kamieskroon has at its heart the wonderful Skilpad Wildflower Reserve, where you’ll find some of the richest bulb flora in the world. Think tortured rock formations, iconic quiver trees, big blue skies and carpets of bright flowers.
7. Springbok Region
For those who have the time to venture even further north, flower cornucopia can be found up the N7 on a series of drives around the towns of Springbok and Port Nolloth. Namaqualand daisies stretch far into the horizon in an ocean of colour. For botanists and avid plant lovers, this is floral utopia at its finest.

8. Cape Columbine Nature Reserve
A mere 5 minutes from Paternoster is the Cape Columbine Nature reserve home to an abundance of flora and fauna as well as the last manned lighthouse in South Africa which was built on Castle Rock in 1936. Cape Columbine lies on a peninsular and covers 263 hectares of gorgeous wild, rocky coastline.
9. Hopefield Fynbos Show
Surrounded by delicate fynbos and waving green wheat in winter, Hopefield is a historic town on the Cape West Coast.
Every August, the popular Hopefield Fynbos Show depicts the breathtaking and diverse flora of the region. To see indigenous flora at ground level, walk the Langrietvlei and Helderwater trails on farms near the town.
Don’t miss this year’s exhilarating Hopefield Fynbos Show from 29 - 1 September.

10. Tankwa Karoo National Park
The vast expanse of the Tankwa Karoo National Park is enough to woo even the hardiest of hearts and, when spring rolls around, this stark and barren national park is transformed into one of the most beautiful places on earth. Only a four hour drive from the Mother City, Tankwa covers an area of about 30, 000 hectares, most of which is cloaked under a white and yellow veil come springtime. The best views of this artist’s palette of colour are towards the Roggeveld Escarpment, which gives you incredible views of the surrounding plateau and is a carpet of red, pink, deep orange and purple petals.
