Blomme in die Karoo

[Toppie4x4]

Ons beplan om hierdie jaar te gaan blomme kyk (belowe nou al vir jare ek sal haar vat) Is daar iemand op die forum wat in die karoo bly en vir my kan se wanneer is die beste tyd. Hulle se na die eerste reens..................nou ons hier in Gauteng sal nie altyd weet of die reens geval het of nie. Enige inligting sal help veral met kampeer plekke. Dankie Andre

Toppie4x4 ons gaan ook hierdie jaar. Sal ook ons eerste keer wees. Ons gaan op Nieuwoudville bly en vandaar die omgewing besoek. Ons het gehoor dat middel Augustus eerste week September die beste tyd is. Maar net een dag se warm bergwind en die blomme verwelk. Lees ook hierdie link, Stan het 'n baie goeie verslag gegee.

Gaan beslis ook probeer om rondom dieselfde tyd te gaan. Alhoewel ons sou wou kamp sal ek die gastehuise ook dophou. Andre

Bespreek net vroegtydig. Dit is n malhuis in blommetyd.

[Toppie4x4]

Lyk my ek kan plek kry by nieuwoudtville vanaf 6 tot 11 September. Enige iemand van Gauteng wat ook daardie tyd gaan miskien kan ons saam ry. Wil oor die vlaktes ry via Calvinia.

[Toppie4x4]

Het iemand al by groenrivier (nieuwoudtville) gekamp?

[Toppie4x4]

is daar rerig niemand wat al by Groenrivier gekamp het nie, naby Nieuwoudtsville.............karoo en blomme wereld, het maar bespreek en betaal vir die tweede week van September, hoop maar die blomme is mooi die jaar.

Andre, ek is nie seker waar julle kamp by Groenrivier nie maar ons het op n plaas so 4 km van die Groenrivier se hek af gebly. Sien hierdie trip report:

Hulle het wel kamp plekke ook. In my opinie is Aug/Sept die beter tye om te gaan blomme kyk. Wil self die jaar in Namakwaland uitkom via Tankwa Karoo.

Hoop dit help?

Hi Andre, If you are along the coast you can camp anywhere along the west coast until you get to the Namaqua Eco National Park. When we were there we camped at Kammieskroon and Springbok. There is also a campsites at Hondeklipbaai and Van Rhynsdorp as well as Farm Campsites out of town towards Niewoudville and just over the van Rhyns Pass at Niewoudsville. There are three different biomes of flowers in the van Rhynsdorp area where the mountain flowers(bulbs), coastal flowers as well as the plains flowers meet, which is supposed to be a sight to behold. There are also great flower shows west of Kammieskroon at Dassie farm reserve or something to that effect as well as a small Goegab Nature Reserve outside Springbok. Other than the campsite at Springbok, you will also find a campsite a few kilometers south of Springbok just off the N7 towards Kammieskroon. There is also a campsite just north of ClanWilliam on the N7 as well as at the ClanWilliam Dam just out of town. While you are in the area drive up or down the West Coast from just beow Hondeklipbaai to Lutzville all along the coast (there is also the drive between Springbok to Hondeklipbaai over the Wildeperdspas), drive the Cederberg Mountains and include the Wuppertal area (there are also plenty campsites along this route with many places of interest). These are all great drives and will include beautiful scenery as well as flowers. Roger from Vioolsdrif should be able to give you more information. Good luck and enjoy.

Thanks Edge will definitely do that, I did visit Hondeklipbaai way back in 2006 up to Springbok where we stayed at Kleinplasie Guest house, not sure if it is still there

[Toppie4x4]

Is daar dalk enige iemand wat van Gauteng af na Namakwaland se righting gaan die eerste week in 6- 12 September.............kan dalk saam ry? Andre

[pietpetoors]

Blomme het al begin oopmaak in Langebaan en Saldanha
Nog nie naastenby so baie soos ander jare die tyd nie, maar daar is al 'n klompie.

Ons het baie reën gehad, so ek is verbaas dat daar so min blomme is.
Gewoonlik is die koppie agter ons huis die tyd van die jaar al spierwit van die blomme.

[Toppie4x4]

Lyk my ons gaan dit mis, sal in elk geval n lekker trip wees, was nie nie in die area nie.

[pietpetoors]

Andre die blomme begin gewoonlik eerste by ons oopmaak. Hoe verder Noord jy gaan, hoe later maak die blomme oop.

[Toppie4x4]

Pieter enige update oor die blomme?

[pietpetoors]

Ja, hier is nou al baie blomme in en om Langebaan.

Jy moet ook die ander post dophou, ek sit gereeld goed daar
