Our Cape Floral Kingdom is one of six plant kingdoms in the
world?
This kingdom is the smallest and richest with 70% of the
plants found
here are nowhere else on earth.
The Cape is also known for huge carpets of flowers, often stretching to the
horizon, so
people travel here from all over the world to view this amazing sight.
These flowers can be spotted from Cape Town to Darling, Langebaan,
Clanwilliam, Vanrhynsdorp, Nieuwoudtville, Hondeklip Bay and Springbok.
There are many other flower areas as well. The flower season changes from
place
to place, but generally the best time is
during August and September.

Southern Africa is endowed with an incredible
diversity in habitats and wildlife.
On the Southern tip of this
region lies the Cape floral kingdom which is considered
to be second
only to the tropical rain forests in the number of species. Southern
Africa has the largest number of species (13) of land tortoise and
the region
is home to no less than 300 mammal, 900 bird, 130 frog,
130 snake, 250 lizard,
1,500 tree, 24,000 flowering plant and an
estimated 80,000 insect species!
The Region
boasts viable populations of the fastest (cheetah),
tallest (giraffe)
and
biggest (elephant)
of earths land mammals.
In the Western Cape we have some 3,440 wine farms, of which
460 have
cellars
and wine-making facilities. South African
wines lead the world in
production
integrity,
environmental
sustainability and conservation. Producer farmers who belong
to the
BWI have to meet strict criteria set out by the WWF.
