Kirstenbosch is rightly called one of the most beautiful gardens in Africa. The recent creation of The Boomslang - a winding aerial boardwalk at treetop level – adds a birds’ eye view to the Arboretum. You’ll literally become part of the canopy. From here you can see Table Mountain and the entire city below, and it’s easy to spend an entire day wandering through the different plant kingdoms. Kirstenbosch is also the starting point of the Skeleton Gorge hike, so it’s well worth combining the two adventures for a great day out in nature.
