Explore CapeNature’s blooming West Coast nature reserves this flower season
The West Coast is a magical place during flower season, transforming into a vibrant tapestry of blooming colours and intoxicating scents. This September, immerse yourself in this natural wonder by exploring Rocherpan Nature Reserve - just 25 km north of Velddrif. This gem offers eco-friendly accommodation, breathtaking scenery, and a pristine private beach. The reserve's local pan is a haven for birdwatchers, featuring majestic pink flamingos against a stunning backdrop, perfect for your photo album.
Your adventure doesn't stop there! Head over to Bird Island near Lamberts Bay, the home of the Cape Gannets – loved and admired by locals and international visitors alike. This is a must-visit for birdwatching enthusiasts eager to see these feathery creatures in their natural habitat.
Next, set your sights on the Groot Winterhoek Wilderness Area. Here, you'll find dramatic mountain landscapes, diverse flowers and trees like stinkwood, yellowwood, red alder and ironwood, and crystal-clear streams. Hike our trails and experience spectacular views and the chance to spot indigenous wildlife.
Finish your journey with a visit to Algeria and Kliphuis in the Cederberg Mountains. Algeria boasts picturesque landscapes and ancient rock art. At the same time, Kliphuis provides a charming and relaxing atmosphere to wrap up your West Coast expedition.
