One of the most beautiful seasons in the Western Cape is flower season. Experience the beauty of springtime flowers in the Western Cape with flower locations in Langebaan, Blaauwberg, and Darling. Now’s the time to discover the vibrant blooms and breathtaking landscapes.
After the winter rains, the flowers bloom in the spring, giving the surroundings a lovely pop of colour. The duration of this wonderful experience is only around eight weeks.
The Western Cape has a number of magnificent wildflower displays to mark the coming of spring and the diversity of flora it brings. Many of these highlight the colourful flowers that are in bloom at this time of year with floral displays, a variety of activities, cafés, and gardens with native species.
BookNow.co.za has put together a list of accommodation spots in the flower region that could spice up your trip.
