A remarkable botanical garden, one of the most beautiful in the world, with a variety of plants and walkways offering a beautiful view.

One of the most beautiful botanical gardens in the world (voted 7th ), it is located at the foot of Table Mountain. Since its creation in 1913, botanists have planted about a quarter of the 20,000 plants recorded in southern Africa. One marvels at each grove. It would take days and days to explore in depth, all senses awake, the 36 hectares accessible (560 hectares in total). Those who are passionate about the park will learn about the work of the French botanist and poet Adelbert Von Chamisso, a native of Boncourt in Champagne, who made a world tour between 1815 and 1818. Don't miss the protae enclosure, the cycas amphitheater and the Fynbos walk. Ask for the brochure in French (10 R). Good restaurant, very attractive store, sale of plants, open-air sculpture exhibitions. You can also have a picnic on the spot, at the edge of a watering hole, on the well-mown green grass or on the benches installed all along the paths. The garden is also known for the Canopy Walkway, built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the botanical garden in 2013. The "Boomslang" is a 130-meter-long walkway nestled between more than 450 trees, discreetly located in the famous arboretum. It offers a breathtaking view of the garden, the mountain and beyond. Don't miss the summer concerts (December to March) on Sunday afternoons at 5pm. Note: the City Sightseeing blue line stops at the botanical garden.

Parc Botanique
Le Kirstenbosch est un grand parc botanique très bien organisé avec des petits circuits thématique et sa passerelle pour observer la canopée. Un pique-nique au milieu de cette verdure pour se restaurer est conseillé.

Pour les amoureux des plantes
Un immense jardin qui saura ravir les botanistes, aussi bien en herbe que les plus expérimentés !
Possibilité de piquer niquer sur les pelouses et de se balader sur la passerelle qui traverse la canopée... magique !
