Every spring the Postberg National Park in the Western Cape becomes a carpet of multi-coloured blossoms as thousands
of petals open to the still-chilly air and the determined spring sunshine.
Postberg National Park (famous for the annually blooming
spring flowers and antelope) forms part of the West Coast National Park, a
spectacular piece of scenic beauty that includes the beautiful blue waters of Langebaan
Lagoon which is where, as the park themselves put it, “thousands of seabirds
roost on sheltered islands, pristine golden beaches stretch endlessly into the
early morning mist and brooding salt marshes are home to cast concentrations of
migrant waders from the northern hemisphere.”
Usually SAN Parks offer a SAN Parks week in September, where
members of the South African public can visit National Parks for free but even without this the cost is a mere R56 per adult . For more detailed information visit their website (www.sanparks.org),
like their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/pages/SANParks-West-Coast-National-Park/264629663581112
) or follow them on Twitter (@SANParks or @WestCoastNP).
A visit to the park can include not just a driving or
walking tour through the Postberg flowers, but also a visit to one of the
scenic beaches which highlight the secluded beauty of this special part of the
world. Share your time with idyllic nature, wild fragrance on the gentle breeze,
slow moving tortoises and, if you’re lucky, amongst the purple abundance of
flowers, you may just see some grazing antelope.
