At certain times of the year (basically August) a visit to the spring wild flowers can be a real highlight for many visitors. This spring phenomenon is typically at its peak in mid August. But it does depend on the rains.
After good winter rains the normally dry land of agter-Pakhuis can become a carpet of spring flowers with nemesias, lachenalias, babiana and ixias seen in great profusion. The Biedouw valley is often a mecca. But other good areas for spring flowers include the Botterkloof valley and Nardouwsberg. However the spring flower time varies every year.
During the spring flower season, we incorporate some flower-viewing into our excursions from the lodge. Usually we extend our Sevilla rock art tour to also visit the Bidouw valley with a picnic lunch.
However if the timing of our flower tours doesn't suit you, you can also enjoy a self-drive tour over the Pakhuis Pass to the Biedouw Valley.
