Re: Flowers in Namakwaland
Hope the flowers last awhile, I'll be heading that way On 27th August; thought of starting at Springbok then moving South - any suggestions?

Re: Flowers in Namakwaland
Niel,
Tankwa flowers are a bit late this year. Being part of the Succulent Karoo, the main event is the Vygies, which is spectacular as it covers everywhere, from the low lying areas to the crests of the mountains. The daisies are good in patches, you have to know where to look for them and to really appreciate the veld you have to get out of your vehicle and get walking.
The Vygies will be in full bloom next month.

Re: Flowers in Namakwaland
Niel - we're doing a breakfast run on the 30th, the WesKos not Tankwa.
The WesKos Flowers are early this year (apparantly), the display on the Vredehoek side of Table Mountain aren't too shabby either mos
