Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden Continue to Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens – a nature-lover’s paradise of pristine fynbos and forest, in a stunning landscape. The Kirstenbosch estate can be explored via five trails, of differing levels of difficulty. All are well-maintained, logged footpaths or gravel roads and are sign-posted. Enjoy a meander along the tree canopy walkway. Inspired by a snake skeleton, and informally called ‘The Boomslang‘ (meaning tree snake), it is a low-maintenance, low-impact sculptural raised walkway. The Walkway takes the visitor from the forest floor into and through the trees and bursts out above the canopy, giving spectacular panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains, Garden and Cape Flats. Return to your hotel upon completion of the tour.
