Namaqua National Park

The Namaqua National Park is yet another wonderful nature reserve of South Africa, in the Northern Cape, that stretches as far as the eye can see, towards a pristine coastline. One of the famous attractions of this park is the Namaqualand, an area that boasts a stunning wealth of bulb flora. You'll be amazed to know that here, there are an estimated amount of 3,500 plant species, 1000 of them available nowhere else in the world. Another unique fact about this natural attraction is that is in one of only two arid biodiversity spots. Explore the park as you enjoy the amazing vistas, with daisies and spring flowers filling the valleys. From early August to September, carpets of wildflowers transform this abundance of flora. The Namaqua National Park is rich as well in animal life, granting you with opportunities to spot various bird species, baboons and the world's smallest tortoise, the Namaqua Speckled Padloper. Besides all this, the park is ideal for outdoor activities and attractions, including 4x4 eco routes, mountain biking as well as walking trails.
