When and where to find the Jacaranda
Jacarandas flower from late September to mid November, a few weeks earlier in Harare than in Pretoria, and the streets stay purple for about a month.
The best cities
Pretoria
South Africa
The Jacaranda City. The older suburbs, Arcadia, Brooklyn and Waterkloof, are lined with them, and the bloom from mid October is the city at its best.
Stays in PretoriaJohannesburg
South Africa
Whole avenues of them in the older northern suburbs: Parkview, Saxonwold, Houghton and Parktown. Best seen from a rooftop or the Westcliff ridge in late October.
Stays in JohannesburgHarare
Zimbabwe
Jacaranda avenues through the city centre and the older suburbs, flowering in September and October alongside the red spring flush of the msasa woodland outside town.
Stays in HarareBulawayo
Zimbabwe
Wide streets laid out for ox wagons, lined with jacarandas that flower in October.
Lusaka
Zambia
The older avenues of the capital flower in September and October.
Nairobi
Kenya
The city centre and the leafy western suburbs turn purple in October and November, around the short rains.
