FLOWER SPECIES
OF NAMAKWA
NORTHERN CAPE
West Coast &
Namakwa Map
Majestically stretching over 360 000 square kilometres
from the world-renowned Kalahari Desert in the north to
the arid plains of the Karoo in the South, the Northern
Cape Province of South Africa offers visitors an
unforgettable holiday experience.
For nature lovers, the Northern Cape offers an
abundance of nature and outdoor experiences with its
incredible natural beauty and versatility. The province’s
magnifying appeal is steeped in its rich archaeological
heritage tracing ancient tribes like the San (Bushmen),
Nama and Griqua and pays homage to its diverse
history. The province is divided into five regions, namely
Diamond Fields, Kalahari, Green Kalahari, Namakwa and
Karoo.
The Namakwa region especially offers a rich and diverse
tourism experience. Visitors can immerse themselves in
the colourful histories of towns deeply rooted in a proud
mining tradition. Take an unforgettable raft or canoe
trip through imposing canyons on the meandering
waterways of Namakwa’s artery of life, the Orange River.
Or take your 4x4 on an adventure in the haunting
moonscapes of the stunningly barren, saw-toothed
mountains of the untamed |Ai|Ais/Richtersveld
Transfrontier Park.
Alternatively, wrap yourself in an aura of meditation and
escape to the timeless serenity of a solitary,
palm-fringed cathedral at Pella. Or, as the copper sun
sets on Port Nolloth’s diamond sea and the last, lonely
lines are reeled in, indulge in a crayfish barbecue (braai).
NAMAKWA
Most flowers enthusiasts’ dream is to experience
Namakwa’s spring display. This unspoiled expanse of
open spaces is regarded as one of the world’s botanical
wonders. The first flowers appear in July along the drier
coastal strip and in the north of the region and later
flowering displays can be found until early October at
the higher and cooler altitudes. Labelled by visitors as
‘the greatest flower show on earth’, Namakwa offers
blazing Persian carpets of colourful daisies and vegetation rich in bulbs, perennial shrubs and vygies – an
estimated 3000 + plant species with more than 50%
unique to the area.
Namakwa is part of the Succulent Karoo and contains
more than 6 000 plant species, 250 species of birds, 78
species of mammals, 132 species of reptiles and
amphibians and an unknown number of insects, making
it the world's richest bulb flora arid region and the most
diverse, arid environment. More than 40% of these
species are found nowhere else on Earth.
Many byroads traverse the region and a large variation of
landscapes and colour combinations can be found within
short distances. Be sure not to miss the Goegap Nature
Reserve (Springbok), the Namaqualand National Park
(Kamieskroon) and the ‘bulb capital’ Niewoudtville. The
best way to discover the small jewels sheltering between
the taller plants is on foot and it offers keen photographers amazingly rewarding experiences. Before setting
out on your floral experience do contact the local
tourism bureaux for up-to-date flower news or visit
www.experiencenortherncape.com flower updates.
Enjoy the cultural interaction with the Nama people
whilst taking a donkey ride in Eksteenfontein or staying
over in the community-run Kookfontein rondavels near
Steinkopf. Experience the mystery and wonder of the
star-studded night skies at the Southern African
Astronomical Observatory in Sutherland where the clear
Karoo sky shows millions of stars.
Dimorphotheca pluvialis
(Namakwa Daisy)
These mass flowering daisies can
be confused with snow all along
the Namakwa region.
This proud flower can be found
growing abundantly in the Tankwa
National Park during springtime.

Between July and October each year, the sun-baked
plains and sandstone mountains of the West Coast
metamorphose into a kaleidoscope of brilliant colour as
the veld gives rise to the world renowned wild flowers.
Colchicum sp. (Cup-and-Saucer)
These low-lying flowers can be
found north of the Cape Floral
Region towards Namakwa.
The roadsides and wetlands are filled with the last
patches of Arum Lillies and white Rain Daisies herald the
arrival of spring, jostling with tiny yellow Button Daisies,
Blue Flax and pink Nemesias. Look out for the daintier,
sometimes hidden Winecups, Sparaxis, Lechenalia and
Babiana flowers. Good rains will ensure that the carpets
of flowers last well into October and multi-coloured
Vygies, Watsonias and fields of orange and yellow
‘Stinkkruid” will await you too.

blooms from July to August.

FLOWER SPECIES
OF THE WEST COAST
WEST COAST
The flower season runs from July through to late
October. The amount and timing of the winter rains and
winds has a crucial influence on the flowers. That’s why
each year has a different outcome. The flowers tend to
bloom up north first, and as the season continues, they
bloom further and further south. Before you set off on
your journey, call the Kleenex® Flower Hotline at
071 320 7146 to find out where this year’s hotspots are.

The towns along the Kleenex® Flower Route can be few
and far between, especially in Namakwa. Cell phone
reception isn’t always available and you need to factor
that in when planning your trip.
Local Is Lekker!

The flowers always face the sun. Try and drive towards
the sun to enjoy nature’s dazzling display. When viewing
flowers on foot, stand with the sun behind your back.
Certain flowers don’t open when it’s overcast.

To view the flowers at their best, choose the hottest
time of the day, which is from 11h00 to 15h00. It’s the
extended flower power hour. Respect the flower
paradise: Walk with care and don’t trample plants
unnecessarily. Please don’t pick any buds, bulbs or
specimens, nor disturb any sensitive dune areas.
