About Visit the Skilpad Wild Flower Reserve
The Skilpad Wild Flower Reserve is renowned as one of the prime locations for the annual spring flower displays in Namakwaland from August to October.
The 1000-ha Skilpad Wild Flower Reserve lies to the west of Kamieskroon and has a somewhat higher precipitation factor than the surrounding areas due to its proximity to the coast.
The mountainous Kamiesberg area east of Kamieskroon is also superb for mountain biking.
