Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden

Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden

Planted against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain with only South African species, it frames the mountain from a side most visitors never see.

You wander curated sections of indigenous fynbos and forest, including the Boomslang tree canopy walkway that curves out above the treetops.

Local tip: Entry is off Rhodes Drive in Newlands, and you need the ticket emailed by the operator — the booking voucher alone is not accepted at the gate.
