If you need to escape the urban hub without traveling too far, then the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens is your oasis. Left to the people of Cape Town by Cecil John Rhodes in 1902, the area comprises 528 hectares, of which 36 hectares consists of cultivated gardens.
Situated on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain, the area contains a wide array of indigenous flora, trees, birds and small animals. Stroll its many pathways or picnic on its rolling green lawns, take in a summer concert with its stunning mountain backdrop or enjoy some warm winter sounds with a cup of hot soup.
The gardens change with the seasons but you will always leave them with calmness in your heart and tranquility in your soul.
