Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens

An oasis of natural beauty

Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, hugging the eastern sides of Table Mountain, features 4700 of the estimated 20 000 species of South Africa’s indigenous flora. Here you can lose yourself in a labyrinth of fynbos, proteas, cycads, hedges, ferns, rolling lawns, streams and ponds. Situated in the leafy suburbs of Newlands, this garden wonderland has much to see and do for the whole family. Enticing all your senses, you can explore the fragrance garden showcasing plants with interesting textures and scents, the Dell, which features the Colonel Birds Bath and shade-loving plants, as well as a unique Braille Trail for the blind.
