4320 km Wildflower Roadtrip, South Africa - Part 2
I've been meaning to share this 7 part travel series with you for awhile now. A couple of years ago, around this time of year, my family went on a 4320 km roadtrip starting in Johannesburg, South Africa and travelling across the country to see as many wildflowers as possible. We headed towards the Namaqualand region in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. Later heading down to the Western Cape province.
In this episode, we travelled from Kakamas to Springbok and visited the beautiful Goegap Nature Reserve. We started to see some wildflowers amongst the Quiver trees, as well as various wild life such as Springbok and Oryx. The semi desert landscapes spread for kilometers and although very dry, it was still breathtaking. We then drove on to the small town of Kamieskroon, where we spent the night.
I hope this travel series will give you a good idea of what travelling in South Africa is like, the ever changing nature, places to see and stay, and really show you what a beautiful country South Africa is.
Stay tuned for the next five episodes of this wildflower roadtrip! Please do leave a like and comment to let me know you enjoyed this video :)

The journey to Noup - Driving the coastline of the Northern Cape
Episode 30: The Northern Cape has always been one of those places that has held a certain romance for me. I love the idea of a wide open land, wild and largely untouched, the horizon blurred by midday summer heat mirages followed by the extreme of negative temperatures during the winter months.
This is a land you can't ignore. Simply closing the window won't stop the dry heat from pervading your house or the hot strong wind from blowing sand under the door. Anyone who lives in this harsh and beautiful land must surely feel it inside of them?
Visiting the Northern Cape was a definite highlight of our Ultimate South African Road Trip, and a destination we had looked forward to from the beginning. Armed with a rental 4x4 after losing Thomas, we set out north from Doringbaai.
