Africa Flora Tour


A gift from nature...



South Africa’s floristic and vegetation diversity is without equal in the world. Over 22.000 plant species are native to the region.
South Africa is the only country in the world to have an entire floristic kingdom: The Cape Floristic Kingdom. It has more than 8.000 plant species.
Causana Viajes organized -with the invaluable knowledge and guidance of our South African partner, Avian Leisure- an unforgettable Floristic Tour for Cloud Ridge Naturalist.
Sixteen days -at end of August 2012- roving the South West South Africa brought us to magic places like Namaqualand, the Great Karoo, the succulent Karoo, fynbos, desert and forest.
Seeing the magic carpet of myriads of flowers in bloom –after the elusive and scares rains- is a dream… An ephemeral gift from nature.
