About
Founded in 1913 on land bequeathed by Cecil Rhodes, Kirstenbosch was dedicated to the country's indigenous flora rather than imported plants. Its lawns and beds sweep up towards the mountain's cliffs, displaying proteas, ericas and ancient cycads. A curving elevated walkway nicknamed the Boomslang winds through the treetops of the arboretum.
Best time to go: Visit in the morning for birdlife on the canopy walkway, or bring a picnic to a summer sunset concert.
