For a few weeks each spring, the West Coast erupts into one of the world's great botanical spectacles — fields of wildflowers as far as the eye can see.
The Cape Floral Kingdom is the smallest and one of the richest of the world's six floral kingdoms, and in September it puts on its finest show. An hour north of the city, the West Coast National Park and surrounding reserves fill with colour — timing and weather are everything, and a good guide makes the difference.
We watch the bloom reports for you and plan the day for peak colour, with a driver who knows the back roads.
