Cape Town: West Coast Spring Tour 2025

Cape Town: West Coast Spring Tour 2025

Let’s Explore the Weskus! Join our exclusive tour for an experience that not only highlights the breathtaking beauty of the Cape but also celebrates the enduring spirit of its people. The exclusive Postberg area of the West Coast National Park bursts open for visitors only in August and September - just in time to witness a dazzling, vibrant tapestry of wildflowers. From the classic favourite daisy to gems like orchids, vygies, irises, and viooltjies, every step brings a new surprise. Our day starts in Cape Town and head to !Khwa ttu Nature Reserve to learn about the rich culture of the ancient San people. We’ll accompany you to fascinating sites where every moment is a tribute to the past. Embrace an adventure where every step tells a story, and every sight leaves you in awe, gaining fresh insight into an ancient way of life. Next, we venture to the stunning West Coast National Park, a treasure trove of scenic views and wildlife. This picturesque landscape creates a serene backdrop for exploration and appreciation of nature’s beauty. Be amazed at beautiful fields of spring personified. As our day delightfully unfolds, we pause to soak in the sights and sounds of the park, capturing memories that will last a lifetime. The West Coast National Park is also home to the replica of "Eve's Footprint". Discovered in 1995 at Kraalbaai, these prints are unmistakable human footfalls fossilised in rock (formerly sea sand) and are said to have belonged to a young woman who lived 117 000 years ago. This makes them the oldest known footprints of an anatomically modern human. Finally, we return to Cape Town, filled with the charm of the region and the warmth of new experiences. We look forward to sharing this special adventure with you! (You have the option of booking a tour with a professional photographer on board to capture your special moments for eternity!)

West Coast National Park: Private Day Tour.

West Coast National Park: Private Day Tour Escape the city and discover one of South Africa’s most breathtaking coastal treasures on this full-day private tour to the West Coast National Park. Just over an hour north of Cape Town, this protected area is a haven for nature lovers, birdwatchers, photographers, and anyone seeking peace, beauty, and wide-open spaces. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the Cape’s ever-changing landscapes, arriving at the West Coast National Park—famous for its unspoiled beaches, turquoise waters, and the shimmering Langebaan Lagoon. The park is especially magical between August and October, when the wildflowers burst into bloom, transforming the landscape into a vibrant carpet of color. But the park’s beauty isn’t limited to spring. All year round, it offers spectacular views, rich biodiversity, and a sense of serenity that’s hard to find elsewhere. The area is a birdwatcher’s paradise, home to over 250 species including flamingos, oystercatchers, kestrels, and kingfishers. Whether you're an avid birder or a curious traveler, the variety of birdlife is sure to impress. We take this tour at a relaxed pace, with plenty of time to stop, explore, and enjoy the moment. Walk along miles of white sand beaches, dip your toes in the lagoon, breathe in the salty sea air, and listen to the sounds of nature all around you. There’s also time to enjoy a local lunch (optional) and perhaps spot some wildlife like eland, bontebok, or tortoises along the way. Your guide and host, Jim, is a Cape Town native who speaks both English and Swedish. With a deep love for South Africa’s history, culture, nature, and wine, Jim brings a personal touch to every tour.

I had a great day in West Coast NP! The guide made a lot of effort and catered to all requests. The car was very clean and there were snacks and drinks. I learned a lot about the Khoisan and was able to spot many native animals in the fields. Turtles, lizards, ostriches, zebras and eland antelopes... the beaches were also a big plus!

Jim was great! If you like a guide who knows so much about history, birds, flower, anything, he's the guy. I had the best day doing the tour.
