Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden
Boasting a scenic setting on the slopes of Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden remains one of the most popular Cape Town attractions, drawing visitors with its staggering diversity of indigenous and exotic plants. Founded in 1913 and now part of a World Heritage Site, the garden offers a look into five different biomes of South Africa, spread across its conservatory and picturesque exterior landscape. Don't miss the stone sculptures from Zimbabwe, and consider setting off on one of the trails leading to the top of Table Mountain.

The open spaces, the paths and the opportunity to experience nature in such a wonderful setting. Of course the Boomslang is a must !

We were there at the beginning of spring, so flowers were just starting to bloom. The scenery, at the foot of Table Mountain, is just as incredible as the variety of flora in the garden

Always a joy to visit. Well maintained. Best place to have a picnic with family and friends although they don't allow tables or chairs. Tea garden and restaurant are both very good Don't forget to take your South African ID otherwise you are charged more than twice the price. Worth the entry fee to protect a national treasure. My New Year's resolution is to buy an annual pass and visit more often this year.

Reconnect with nature, enjoy the fantastic scenery with beautiful trees, plants and birds. Discover "secret" little gardens with benches to relax on and enjoy the view of Table Mountain. Beautifully manicured lawns with wide open spaces to take the family for a picnic and let the kids run around. An unforgettable experience that makes you come back again and again.
