Wildflowers
Namaqualand
Namaqualand in the north-west of South Africa is a sunburnt and barren semi-desert. But that changes dramatically in spring, when after a short rainy season the countless wildflowers spread over the wide plains like a colourful carpet. Most of the flowers belong to the different species of daisies.

The spectacular wealth of blossoms can be best admired in the period from August to October. Then the visitors can phone the regional and national "Flower Hotlines" to enquire about quality, size and position of the most beautiful flower regions.
