Namaqualand Flower Route

Road Trip

Namaqualand Flower Route

The N7 north into Namaqualand — a sun-baked nothing for ten months of the year and one of the planet's great wildflower explosions in August and September.

5 hours direct560 kmBest: South to north

Our take

Only worth the drive in August and September — when it's the best flower show on earth.

What's worth stopping for

Not everything along the route — only what's worth sacrificing vacation time for.
