South Africa’s world-famous national botanical garden is set against the awesome backdrop of Table Mountain and Devil’s Peak, and is home to over 22 000 indigenous plants. The Cape is renowned as the world’s richest floral kingdom and Kirstenbosch is magnificent in any season. The gardens host outdoor concerts every Sunday in summer and in one of the restaurants in winter. There is a free daily walking tour (10h00) and hourly golf-cart tours. Many hiking trails start from the gardens.F
