NAMAQUA

Namaqua is the plural form of Nama, the name of the large Khoe Group who occupied the region long before the white settlers arrived. Namaqualand is equal to one of the greatest flowershows on earth.

After good winter rains, spring provides a flower carpet of radiant colour. This arid region has an annual rainfal ranging from 50mm to less than 250mm. The most common flower species are Namaqualand Daisies, vygies and a variety of Asterceae.

Thousands of tourist from all over the world come to experience the unique beauty of the wildflowers.

When 4000 species of wild flowers suddenly transform the seemingly barren veld, into a garden, it will put any surburban garden to shame.

Two other noteworthy indigenous plants are the quiver tree and the halfmens (“half human”). The latter are common in the Richtersveld
