The spring season in South Africa is a marvellous experience. Not only will you be able to witness the nature awakening, but you will be amazed how colourful the world can be around you! The explorations of the Cape Floral region will give you a lot of emotions with its miles and miles of the fluorescent orange, pink, purple, yellow and white. South Africans themselves wait for the blooming since it is a vivid sign of the spring's arrival. Moreover, with around 4 000 species, the region is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

If you plan to see this divine miracle with your own eyes, plan a trip to some gardens and national parks, such as the Table Mountain Park and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. There are also several routes that will open up all the blooming magnificence of the spring season in South Africa, for example, the famous Garden Route.
