Tankwa Karoo National Park; one of South Africa's most underrated destinations
The Karoo is as big as Germany and harbors over 100 villages, towns, settlements and a couple of railway sidings. Despite the proliferation of modernity in this area, the human population is still as sparse as it was back in the 1900s, effectively giving the Karoo an enticing rural feel.
Tankwa has gained popularity as the home of Afrikaburn. Find out more about this underrated destination here:

There is no better time to enjoy the bursts of colour landscapes and magnificent floral attractions of the area.
This phenomenon where the west coast of South Africa bursts into fields of colorful wild flowers, occurs yearly.

******************************************
The kaleidoscope of the spring flowers landscape include fybos, vygies, daisies and nemesias. There are hundreds of indigenous species that burst into bloom between August and September each year.
Thousands of visitors arrive each year to snap pictures of this natural wonder.
The last two weeks of August until mid-September are seen as the optimal period to view the wild flowers.
The flower season is determined mostly by the rainfall. This will impact the number and quality of the flowers as well as the time span of the flower season.

******************************************
The diversity of the flowers that will be available and the flower hot-spots will vary each year according to the weather conditions.
Sunny days are prime for flower viewing. When the sun is shining the flowers open and turn their faces towards the sun.
The ideal temperature for viewing wildflowers is around 14˚C and the best time of day is between 10:30 – 16:00.
If the day heat up too quickly the flowers wilt earlier in the day.
The petals remain closed on very overcast or rainy days.
A good idea is to do your flower viewing in a southerly direction. The reason for this is that the flowers always face the sun. This way the flowers will be facing you.
