Abundant numbers of wild flowers have for several weeks been showing their brightly coloured faces all over the Western Cape. Our West Coast is an array of petals and each weekend sees hundreds of locals and visitors make their way around the West Coast to relax in the sun and take in the flower's beauty.
If you're keen on attending flower shows, consider taking a day trip to Tulbagh (map) to see the Tulbagh Horse and Wildflower Show from 22 to 25 September. The show comprises the National Horse Championships along with the natural wildflower exhibition and will more than certainly have food stalls, a beer garden and plenty of arts and crafts stalls.
Email Elsa Rix or call her on 023 230 0189 for further details. Visit Tulbagh Toursim's website for more information about this old town of the Cape.

Beautiful. I have never been to the West Coast area and really need to make a plan to get there, specially ihn flower season.

Post authorYou should Firefly. Consider staying over at The Baths in Citrusdal. They’re in the middle of orange and lemon country and have awesome hot-water springs. :)

Just got back from a couple of weeks in CT and the West Coast – it was beyond beautiful! Included a couple of days on the edge of the Verloren Vlei. Love the West Coast – but then I love the Overberg too!
