Kirstenbosch, Cape Town, South Africa in 360°

You’re standing atop the Kirstenbosch Centenary Tree Canopy Walkway. Or “the Boomslang” to locals. It was built in 2013 to celebrate the centenary of the gardens. Explore as it dips and winds its way through and over the trees of the Arbireetum. Look around you and take in the beauty of Kirstenbosch. Set against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch is regarded as one of the great botanic gardens of the world, boasting over 7000 plant species. Learn more about the plants that make up the Cape Floral Kingdom. Or if you care for something a little different, experience one of Kirstenbosch’s lively summer concerts. For the more romantic at heart, seek out a secret picnic spot, or take a hike up Nursery Ravine and get lost in the forest, on this, the lush side of Table Mountain.
