Namaqualand, Namibia/South Africa

Namaqualand is an arid region of Namibia and South Africa, extending along the west coast over 600 miles.

Namaqualand is popular with both local and international tourists during early springtime, when for a short period this normally arid area becomes covered with a kaleidoscope of colour during the flowering season. This is known throughout South Africa as the Namaqualand daisy season, when orange and white daisies, as well as hundreds of other flowering species, spring up from a previously barren landscape.
