Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is an iconic park located at the foot of Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa. Focused on the growth and preservation of indigenous plants, the garden covers a sprawling 528 hectares and is dedicated to scientific research and recreational use alike. Visitors can explore the different biomes from savanna to fynbos while learning about the area’s history thanks to sights such as the Colonel Bird’s Bath or take a stroll up Skeleton Gorge for spectacular views. Outdoor concerts held in the gardens are also popular amongst tourists looking to enjoy some of the best local artists around. With its combination of natural beauty, unique biodiversity and 101 year legacy, Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is one of South Africa’s premier attractions.
