“The Gardeners Delight” – Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens

Lying against the eastern side of Table Mountain is the world-famous Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens. Covering an area of more than 520 hectares, it features over a third of South Africa’s more than fifteen thousand species of flora. A wonderland for botanists as well as those who just enjoy seeing plants and flowers. No need to be a botanist, all the plants are tagged for easy identification.
The garden also features a conservatory to protect the plants that are found in the semi-desert areas of South Africa from excess moisture. The curio shop is very well stocked with a wide range of books, postcards, seed and a wide variety of other interesting items. Kirstenbosch has a very good restaurant which caters to a wide variety of tastes.

Groot Constantia

A short drive from Kirstenbosch lies the Groot Constantia Estate. We will take you on a guided tour of the estate which will also include the manor house and outbuildings. Groot Constantia is renowned for its wines which were even sought after by the nobility of France. Napoleon, on his deathbed, is reputed to have asked for a glass of sweet Constantia wine. The tour concludes with the option of a wine tasting in the Groot Constantia tasting rooms.
