“Escape the crowds and explore the rugged Cape West Coast — from Darling's wildflower fields and Langebaan Lagoon to the seafood havens of Paternoster and Saldanha Bay.
About This Experience
Leave the tourist trail behind and discover the Cape West Coast — a region of raw natural beauty, sleepy fishing hamlets and some of South Africa's finest seafood. Your private guide drives north from Cape Town through the rolling wheat fields and wildflower meadows of the Swartland, with a stop in the artistic village of Darling, famous for its annual flower show and Evita se Perron — South Africa's quirkiest cabaret venue. Continue to the pristine turquoise waters of Langebaan Lagoon inside West Coast National Park, where flamingos wade in the shallows and kayakers glide past white-sand beaches. In spring (August-September), the park explodes with a carpet of wildflowers that stretches to the horizon. After a traditional West Coast seafood lunch at an open-air restaurant in Paternoster — a whitewashed fishing village frozen in time — you'll visit the Fossil Park at Saldanha Bay before the scenic drive home through the Darling hills.
