This region has a unique ambiance and appeal. The West Coast National Park showcases the best of the natural, desolate beauty of the area.

During this tour you will enjoy the sites and sounds of the Langebaan Lagoon and five adjacent islands, alive with thousands of seabirds. Generations ago a thriving guano-collecting community lived in the area. Migrant wader species make the fragile salt marshes their home on their annual visit to the region as many as 70 000 birds come to feed here each year.
If you take this tour in spring, you will see the strandveld comes alive with colour
multi-tones and hues of flowers form a natural carpet and people come from around the world to marvel at this spectacle.

The day ends with a very special encounter at the !Khwa ttu San Culture and Education Center. Here, San guides of Strandloper descent take you on a journey back into their past, and proudly speak of their future. You will accompany them on a game tracking journey across ancient lands to a boma offering spectacular views across the ocean to Table Mountain.

This Cultural centre is an important showcase of the ancient people of this country. Unlike some cultural tours which tend to be disrespectful and patronizing, this centre has a different slant, working with the people.

Any responsible tourist who truly has a heart to learn more about the environment as well as the history of the Cape will find this an enriching and rewarding tour.
