Mamre is an old mission station on the West Coast of South Africa. A section of the town is preserved so that the visitor can see how it was hundreds of years ago. During the wild flower flower season you will have the opportunity to photograph the unique Cape Dutch architecture while numerous wild flowers are in bloom. Darling is a popular tourist destination and home to Ducket Orchids, one of the biggest orchid nurseries in the world. There is an interesting museum and antique shop, wine farms and restaurants. Some farmers open the gates of their farms so that you can have a better and close up look of the wild flowers and bulbs that grow in the vicinity. Sometimes you have to drive for hundreds of kilometers to see flowering plants. There are always surprises like finding a rare plant in flower or rare birds like the blue crane which is South Africa's national bird.
