The Biodiversity Gardens along Cape Town’s Waterfront strip offer a tranquil spot to unpack a picnic and relax in a secluded corner of the lush park-like grounds. Kids will love the Adventure Playground nearby, and we encourage them to explore with our guide to search for fynbos to brew traditional tea. They’ll also discover some fascinating facts about the ancient Strandloper culture along the way. If the weather’s tricky, we’ll take lunch in a restaurant on the slopes of Table Mountain. Kids are invited to create their own pizzas, cupcakes and gingerbread men with the friendly team in the kitchen.
