5 Day Spring Flower Tour
18th – 22nd August 2022

Tour starts and ends in Cape Town

Traveltime Tours has made countless visits into The West Coast National Park, & surrounding areas!  Don’t miss out on this tour of a lifetime!

It is important to note that we cannot guarantee flower viewing– this is dependent on good weather on the day and rains received in the months prior to our visit.

These tours are very popular and it is important that you secure your place ASAP.

Each turn you take in the road will yield a different picture which you will treasure for days and months to come.
