Please note: Our flower season is
determined by the amount and timing of
winter rains and is thus extremely
difficult to predict in advance.
Experience the greatest show on
earth!
Every year Namakwaland hosts the
greatest show on earth! In this period
Nature shakes off winter's bite and
bursts into song, covering our vast
desert spaces with flamboyant symphonies
of floral splendor.
The land of the Nama is the Creator's
playground, a kingdom of contrasts where
dry lands are transformed into a
kaleidoscope of brilliant colour in
spring.
Daisies, perennial herbs, lilies,
succulents, aloes and a host of other
species create a tapestry of indigenous
spring flowers which are unparalleled
anywhere. About 4000 species of plants
grow here.
Seeds of these flowers have the ability
to lie dormant for a number of seasons
awaiting conditions suitable for
germination.
For this reason, not two flower-visits
are identical and it becomes exciting to
hunt for the ever new flower spectacles
in different places on each successive
visit.
