Invitation to Tours

We are offering you a five-week program saturated with clivia activity.
Delegates will be able to "mix and match" their dates and activities. It will be an ideal opportunity to:

•  See prize clivias in all their forms, exhibited at twelve shows spread over five weekends. The date of each show is determined by the interest group concerned, based on their estimate of peak flowering time - seven have already been set and are given in the schematic. The Pretoria show will include an international auction on the 9th, with some of the rarest clivias in the world on offer.

•  See natural habitats of all six species of clivia, in some of the most scenic parts of the country - the eastern escarpment, the eastern seaboard and the floral wealth of the Western Cape and Namaqualand . For an indication of the vistas that will be opened for you, share in a 2001 virtual tour by visiting http://www.concentric.net/~ellipsis/Clivia/

•  Visit other S African attractions such as game parks with the 'Big Five' top of the list, the 'Cradle of Humankind' with hominid fossils dating back 3.3 million years, and many others.

•  Most importantly, meet new (and old) clivia friends from around the world. These friendships cemented at the conference will be a legacy for many years.

•  By a happy coincidence, IBSA, the Indigenous Bulb Association of SA, will be holding a symposium and tours in the Western Cape from August 28 to September 1, immediately preceding the first clivia tour. Clivia/Bulb enthusiasts should not miss this twin opportunity.
