Kirstenbosch Gardens

Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is a veritable Garden Of Eden, sitting beneath Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa. It’s a lush garden full of birds and wildlife, the most beautiful flowers you could wish for with trees of all kinds. There is so much to share that we need to leave some upt to you to go and see, so we will give you a sneak peek of what is there to whet your appetite and perhaps lure you into visiting.

If you wish to have a day by day look at what is happening across all the seasons then there is a Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/kirstenboschphotography/
