KIRSTENBOSCH NATIONAL BOTANICAL GARDENS

Sitting right next to Table Mountain, this verdant botanical garden witnesses a massive influx of travellers throughout the year. Established in 1913, it was opened to preserve the flora of its neighbouring region. That being said, the garden preserves the flora which grows not only in Cape Town but in the whole of South Africa.

With spectacular Table Mountain forming its backdrop, Kirstenbosch is an ideal trail for hikers and nature lovers. If you are searching for places to visit in Cape Town to escape the boisterous crowd of the city, look nowhere else than this vibrant site.
