Our three week exploration of the Western part of Cape Province begins as the Sun dawns on South Africa's most exciting and luxurient Spring. Although we shall mainly be looking at the quite unique flora, there will be the opportunity to see a great range of unusual birdlife. Time has been allocated to enjoy at least one short Safari to see game. We shall explore the plants of the western part of the Cape region which, as a whole, must rank as one of the six Floral Kingdoms of the world. The number of endemic species is phenomenal.
Bulbous plants are of the greatest interest.
Old Four Legs' is at East London and a visit can be planned. For Ornithologists there is a great range of habitats to investigate. Wildlife photographers will require excessive quantities of film for the dramatic scenery, alone, is awesome. Moderate with some rough walking over dry, thorny ground. Hilly areas are warm but shade must be found at some lower altitudes where it can be hot.
