There's little or close to no cellphone reception. There's not much in activities except for driving and trying to spot game amongst millions of flowers.
Traveling on the R27 towards Velddrif this national park is about 100km's from Cape Town. It's also the home of the Geelbek restaurant which serves the best Ostrich burgers I've ever tasted. The building is a national monument and contains some historical information about the area as well as a well stocked curious shop.
Located just outside Langebaan on the edges of the "lagoon" flowers are the main attraction. From August every year the army base located at the opposite tip opens their gates for the yearly "pilgrimage" of visitors eager to get a glimpse of the flowers, the game and maybe a whale or two. The area is a popular whale watching spot with whales sometimes entering the lagoon itself.
Entry fee is reasonable at R25.00 a head (for locals) and most people pack a picnic basket or the whole braai for a day out.
The best time would be from end of August to beginning September. They disappear just as quick as they appear.
