South African National Parks (SANParks) has announced that the annual West Coast National Park (WCNP) flower season is set to kick off. Thanks to the substantial rainfall received during the winter season, the flowers, which can be viewed in the Seeberg, Mooimaak, and the Posberg sections of the national park, are set to burst into full bloom within the next week.
"We are excited about this year's flower season and the vibrant blooms are bound to mesmerize every visitor. The abundance of rainfall has worked wonders and we can't wait to showcase the beauty of our park during the months of August and September", said Charlene Adams, West Coast National Park (WCNP) Park Manager.
To make the most of this experience, SANParks is encouraging visitors to plan their trips on sunny weekdays. Weekends tend to be exceptionally busy, often leading to queues at the entrance and congestion in the flower viewing areas. By choosing to visit on weekdays, visitors can savour a more peaceful and immersive encounter with nature's magnificent display.
