  • Nieuwoudtville ist ein Ort in der Gemeinde Hantam, Distrikt Namakwa, Provinz Nordkap in Südafrika. Kapstadt liegt 350 Kilometer südlich. Im Jahr 2011 lebten hier 2093 Einwohner. Der Ort liegt in rund 1000 Meter Höhe über dem Meeresspiegel auf dem Bokveld (Bokkeveld) Plateau. Die Anfahrt aus westlicher Richtung erfolgt über den VanRhyns-Pass und bietet einen Blick über das Namaqualand und die Knersvlakte. Der Ort trägt den Beinamen „Bulb Capital of the World“ (Blumenzwiebel-Hauptstadt der Welt). Es wird angenommen, dass hier die weltweit größte Konzentration von unterschiedlichen Knollen/Zwiebelgewächsen vorkommt. Diese Geophyten fangen – nach den ersten Sommerregen – im März/April an zu blühen. Die Blühzeit zieht sich dann durch bis Oktober, mit einem Höhepunkt im Juli. Nieuwoudtville hat eine besondere geographische Lage: Von hier aus sind vier verschiedenen Vegetationszonen jeweils nur 25 Kilometer entfernt: Karoo, Bushmanland, Knersvlakte und Namaqualand. (de)

However the region about this community is an oasis in the Biome, with the Doring River falling off the escarpment nearby. Nieuwoudtville is a popular tourist destination in South Africa, especially during the wild flower season, because of its unique placement in the Karoo. The Karoo plain is known as the Bokkeveld and has a reputation as the bulb capital of the world. During spring geophytes, also known as bulbs, bloom in the area around the town. The bulbs are very rain dependent. There is also a bulb nursery where you can pick up your own bulbs to plant back at home. Other than the bulb flower season, there are a wide variety of attractions in Nieuwoudtville such as a waterfall just outside the town, a quiver tree forest, local sandstone ruins, glacial pavement, the Oorlogskloof Nature Reserve and a myriad activities that include bird watching, hiking and a star gazing.
