The Cape Floral Kingdom is one of the richest areas of plant biodiversity in the world. This tiny region on the southern tip of South Africa has been identified as one of the world’s 35 biodiversity hotspots. One of only six Floral Kingdoms in the world – and the only one contained within a single country - it is by far the smallest and relatively the most diverse.
One of the outstanding botanical stars of the show is the beautiful and distinctive Fynbos vegetation, unique to the Cape Floral Region, which includes the famous protea. As well as its botanical significance, the southern tip of South Africa is spectacularly beautiful, particularly in the flowering season.
Travel with experienced botanical tour leader, Carolyn Fry, and learn about wildflowers and the Cape Floral Kingdom as well as experiencing the vibrant culture and history and enjoying the food and fine wine of South Africa: a journey that will leave you both uplifted and inspired.
Take a vivid journey through the floral riches of South Africa during its glorious spring, as each themed day reveals a new aspect of the region’s botanical history.
