Blouberg beaches - flower fields can be admired in late AugustAugust in Cape Town is still winter time, but this is also a great time venture out of town and see the the colourful fields of wild flowers in bloom. If you do not want to drive far, just experience the dunes in bloom along the Western Seabord.
There will still be rainy and colder days, however, we often experience warm sunny days during August as well. And much is to explore in the Cape: exhibitions, concerts, festivals and arts performances will keep you busy and warm!
