Namaqualand Scenic Tours
Africa 4X4 Adventures offer 5 and a half day trips to Namaqualand starting on the 1st of September every year, travelling in a luxury minibus to our destination, Springbok in the Northern Cape which we know from experience offers the most beautiful sightings of natural spring flowers.
We are conveniently based in Melkbosstrand on the Cape/Namibia route. Our packages include transfers to and from Cape Town International Airport, two nights stay at Weskus Kaya Bed & Breakfast and all meals (alcoholic drinks excluded). Once we arrive in Springbok, guests will stay at the Goegap Nature Reserve.
The itinerary is as follows:
