Namaqualand Flower Tours with Taryn
I have been guiding for over 21 years and specialize in flower tours.
It is the most breathtaking, memorable experience to see a barren landscape transform into a kaleidoscope of colour after the winter rains. From carpets of daisies to incredible succulent plants that have developed the most extraordinary coping mechanisms in order to survive.
I am extremely passionate about flowers and the incredible beauty of Namaqualand. My heart belongs to Namaqualand and it is my passion to share my love of flowers and nature with you and take you to beautiful, breathtaking places.

Guest Feedback
We did the 3-day flower trip and had such a wonderful time! Taryn’s enthusiasm and passion for the flora made the trip even more special. She was professional but very accommodating to all our various needs. Very highly recommended!
What an amazing way to tick off a bucket list item!
Taryn was very professional but also undertook for my granddaughter who was on the tour by bringing her son with for company. Taryn’s knowledge of all the different flowers and plant types was amazing. Not only did I come away having witnessed one of the natural beauties of this country, I also came back more knowledgeable. I would recommend Taryn and her tours any day.
Taryn provides in-depth information from simple to complex on flowers and nature. Her enthusiasm and love for what she does is evident. A wonderful experience that needs repeating!
Wonderful time on the flower trip to Namaqualand with our Tour Guide Taryn. Definitely recommend her, she went above and beyond and was very accommodating. She’s very knowledgeable in all the flowers we saw along the way. A very insightful tour
I recently did a 4 day Namaqua flower with Taryn and the experience was beyond words. What started off as a tour soon became a revelation and an exploratory journey for most of us to understand not just flowers, but also their habitat, their uniqueness, their variety and to appreciate and revere the indescribable beauty of this bounty that South Africa has to offer. Taryn has an innate passion for flowers that goes beyond a definition of a set tour and she manages to bring out the curious child in each person within the group.
With her a tour becomes a one-of-a-kind experience that one can never forget in their lifetime, such is her single-minded dedication and passion towards her art. The Namaqua flower tour itself is an experience of a lifetime, and to experience this phenomenon of nature, a sheer miracle, Taryn is the best guide one can hope for, to appreciate not just nature and its abundance, but how to look down and find beauty in places one least expected and in places one never looked. Added to that is her humour and her ability to make a 4-day tour not just interesting but that of engaging humour and her ability to make a 4-day tour not just interesting but that of an engaging connection with nature. This is also a fantastic tour that encompasses the culture and local cuisine of South Africa. I will recommend a tour with Taryn to everyone who wants to discover this unique phenomenon of South Africa. Please book this tour in advance if you wish to avoid disappointment. Owing to the short window period of the flowers, the tours get booked out very quickly.
Hello to all you Crazy Daisies
Thank you for a wonderful 5 days together. We laughed, we looked at flowers, we laughed, we looked at more flowers – and we laughed some more! Right from the very start we “gelled” and the fun just didn’t stop.
A very special Thank You to Keith, for a magnificent flower tour, for accommodation and meals that were top class and for sharing your knowledge and love of the flowers with us. And you were so right – by the end of the tour, we ARE all good friends!
Perhaps if anyone has some good photos of the group/individuals, we could share them with each other?
Take care, everyone – see you in August 2026!
