Welcome to the most beautiful garden of Africa! Soak up the sunshine, sounds and colours as you take a stroll around the stunning grounds. Tip: Make sure you don’t miss out on this unique experience.

The gardens are beautiful in themselves, but with the setting at the foot of table mountain , these botanic gardens are amongst the best in the world.

Renato Fernandes

There is an entrance fee (R 65 by Nov/2017) but it is worth! Very beautiful trees and flowers . Also it is the entrance to hiking trails towards Table Mountain . We did the skeleton gorge trail .

Chris F

Beautiful spot to chill out .

Driaan Jordaan

Nestled at the foot of Table Mountain , Kirstenbosch is one of the world's most admired botanical gardens . Tip: Take a walk on the "boomslang " wooden walkway for even better views of the gardens .

Nicole Mills

Beautiful botanical gardens . Spend a day exploring the gardens on the ground or on the Boomslang canopy walk. Concerts in the park are very popular in Summer.

Fahad Shaheen

Very nice place to visit. You may need 2 or 3 hours in this place ????????

Lynda Lopez

Beautiful grounds and flowers indigenous and unique to the country . Enjoy for a stroll, picnic , catch a summer concert , and definitely grab lunch at the delicious tea house!

Susan Loh

Must see! The gardens are enormous but I hear you can book a shuttle tour to see much more than one can cover on foot.

Adam Sigel

Gorgeous plants and views everywhere. Be sure to check out the garden of rare/endangered plants, the boomslang , and the aloe rockery.

Marie Frei

The Kirstenbosch Tea Room is my favorite place to stop for lunch . They also offer a few picnic options that are worth exploring if you'd like to dine on the lawns of the garden .

The most amazing botanical garden of the world... also a departure place of very sporty/adventurous trecks. Tried out the restaurant ...not cheap but good

Love love love this place. You could easily spend several hours here; bring a book/blanket/picnic or treat yourself to scones at the tea house.

I walked through the gardens on my way to hiking table mountain vie skeleton gorge. I did not see a whole lot, but everything I saw was very pretty although it was dead winter.

Tomas Furlong

Frequent gigs and concerts , particularly on Sundays so good for picnics and music , or just for a wander.

Do not miss the fragrance garden . Also the Skeleton Gorge trail starts here. Be prepared for it (water, snacks , and 6 hours of time).

If you love nature, this is the place you'd want to spend a day at.

Idyllic garden . One of the world's most beautiful. Head up Skeleton Gorge for an uphill hike with arresting views .

Be prepared. It’s quite hilly so brings some comfy shoes . Otherwise it’s beautiful with views of the mountain and the city .

The view of Cape Town over the wooden bridge is too beautiful for words!
