Turkish AirlinesOctober 22, 2015Welcome 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鈥檛 miss out on this unique experience.
AlistairFebruary 23, 2016The 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 FernandesNovember 28, 2017There 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.
Driaan JordaanNovember 10, 2018Nestled 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 MillsJuly 3, 2023Beautiful 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.
Lynda LopezFebruary 14, 2018Beautiful 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 LohFebruary 24, 2018Must 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 SigelJune 6, 2017Gorgeous plants and views everywhere. Be sure to check out the garden of rare/endangered plants, the boomslang, and the aloe rockery.
- Marie FreiJuly 29, 2015The 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.
Nors PFebruary 6, 2018Summer concert series! Picnicking in the sun + great music + breathtakingly beautiful surroundings. What more could you want?
sara alswailemJuly 26, 2019Amazing scenery with the table Mountain in the background and should be visited in a sunny day..
Laurence ThouveninMay 13, 2015The most amazing botanical garden of the world... also a departure place of very sporty/adventurous trecks. Tried out the restaurant...not cheap but good

You could easily spend several hours here; bring a book/blanket/picnic or treat yourself to scones at the tea house.- Nico BreytenbachSeptember 30, 2018Amazing views, perfect for a picnic. During summer time the gardens host summer sunset concers which is a blast.
Francesco Paolo FumarolaNovember 7, 2016You can spend a full day here and still you'll have things to see. We had a great time here- Mack PrioleauAugust 24, 2015I 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 FurlongNovember 4, 2018Frequent gigs and concerts, particularly on Sundays so good for picnics and music, or just for a wander.
David No毛lJanuary 29, 2018Do not miss the fragrance garden. Also the Skeleton Gorge trail starts here. Be prepared for it (water, snacks, and 6 hours of time).
Mark MunroJune 11, 2015Idyllic garden. One of the world's most beautiful. Head up Skeleton Gorge for an uphill hike with arresting views.
Kuei F ThompsonJanuary 31, 2019Be prepared. It鈥檚 quite hilly so brings some comfy shoes. Otherwise it鈥檚 beautiful with views of the mountain and the city.
