Hotels near Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden
Wynberg NU (2), Cape Town, South Africa
Kirstenbosch is one of the world's most important botanical gardens - a 528-hectare site on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain dedicated entirely to indigenous southern African plants. Founded in 1913, the garden is part of the UNESCO Cape Floral Region World Heritage Site - the Cape Floral Kingdom is one of the world's 6 plant kingdoms and is the most diverse per square kilometre. Around 7000 plant species are cultivated here, including the protea (South Africa's national flower).
Highlights: the Boomslang Canopy Walkway (a 130-metre suspended steel walkway through the tree canopy), the Conservatory glasshouse, the Centenary Garden, and the Skeleton Gorge trail up Table Mountain (challenging hike). The Sunday Sunset Concerts in summer (November-April) host live music with picnic seating - the best Cape Town summer evening experience. Admission 230 ZAR adults. Open daily 08:00-19:00 (closes earlier in winter).
Pro Tip: The Sunday Sunset Concert series (November-April, 17:30-19:30, 250 ZAR adult) is the highlight of summer Cape Town - bring a picnic and wine for the lawn seating. Check the schedule online for headline acts. Otherwise, visit Tuesday-Thursday for the quietest gardens.
