The Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens is a natural wonder situated adjacent to the Table Mountain National Park.
Here, evidence was found to support the fact that the area was inhabited by Stone Age man more than 2000 years before Europeans first discovered this land.
When the Dutch East India Company formed a refreshment station at the Cape, this land became protected to secure the existing forest for its valuable timber.
Between 1657 and 1895,  this land was sold no less than 9 times. It eventually became the property of the Union of South Africa in 1902, when it was decided to create a botanical garden for scientific, educational, tourist, and leisure purposes.

Many indigenous plants and trees can be found here. The general term for the naturally occurring plant life is called fynbos (fine bush).
The Fynbos consists of four families:
- Proteas
- Ericas
- Restios
- Geophytes

The walking tour will include many hidden gems that one can only enjoy and appreciate with a knowledgeable Tourist Guide.

(This tour does require one to pay an entrance fee at the gardens)
