Embark on an unforgettable adventure along the West Coast, where the dynamic team at West Coast Way have revolutionized the essence of travel in this captivating corner of South Africa. This isn’t just a journey; it’s an invitation to delve into the “Weskus” way of life, where every road bend brings a new story, every sunset paints a new memory.
As part of the Cape Floral Kingdom, the Cape West Coast is home to thousands of species of plants, including fynbos which is indigenous to the region and found nowhere else in the world. And when you consider that although the Cape Floral Kingdom occupies only a tiny fraction of land at the bottom of Africa, yet hosts almost 20% of all floras on the continent, one begins to grasp the true natural wealth of this unique region.
