Flower Update: Tuesday, 25 July 2023
The #Weskus flowers are not disappointing!
We’ve seen some changes in the landscape with kaleidoscopes of flowers starting to bloom and show off their welcoming beauty.
Have a look at Die Burger’s “Blomme-Bylaag” to get a feeling of this year’s flower season. We are all looking forward to a GREAT season and hope that you can be part of it!

Tips to view the beauty of the Weskus Flowers
* The best time to view the wildflowers is from the end of July till the beginning of October
* Flowers are at their best in the afternoon sun, so don’t go bloom hunting on a cloudy day.
* Wait until the sun’s high in the sky (between 10:30 am and 3:30 pm is best).
*When missioning out around the Weskus it’s always best to head out a bit earlier to avoid the crowds
* For the safety of the visitors, fauna, and flora it is best to pre-book your self-game drives, hikes, accommodation, or restaurant reservations. This way the parks are able to plan for the number of people.
