One of the most beautiful gardens I have been to.

1. Easy access to the park.
2. If you're a SA citizen make sure you carry your ID for local rates
3. So many fun trails to walk through
4. The pathways are easily labeled so it keeps you on track
5. There are a variety of places to find your ideal meal. The restaurant/ tea garden or Vida
6. The gift store is beautifully laid out and the prices are reasonable
7. It has some of the most beautiful views I have seen.

Unique experience, definitely bigger than I thought it was. You can easily spent up to two hours here if you'd like (maybe even more). Lots of benches and grass, you can picnic here if you like. Do keep in mind that there are no rubbish bins in the park.

The park has sooo many botanical species. Of course the best time to visit would be during blossoming season. The view of the mountains in the background makes it a beautiful park, not to be missed if you're spending days in Cape Town

If you’re a nature lover then this is your spot! Beautiful mountain peak and love the green scenery in the park. The park is located just about 15 minutes away from Cape Town City Centre.

There are many different kind of flowers/plants, great walk/hike place with beautiful scenery. Nature at its perfection. It’s a great picnic spot. The park has some great eateries too for breakfast/lunch/brunch that serve great food, coffee and cocktails. Highly recommend it.

A must do when visiting Cape Town. Absolutely stunning. It's a massive botanical garden, so you could spend hours there. It's a beautiful place to visit to spend time with family, learn about local history and enjoy remarkable views. Expect lots of walking. You can go on your own or take a guided tour. Definitely make time for this place on your trip to Cape Town. I recommend going in the morning when it opens, ahead of crowds and the heat.

Beautiful and scenic adventure for the whole family. Great place to take a loved one and is big enough to spend the entire day there. The tree bridge was absolutely breathtaking and I can't wait to go back. The staff are friendly and the gardens are well maintained. By far the best botanical garden.

Really enjoyed the tour of Pam. She was really enthusiastic and was telling new info. She was also interested in the group she was leading which made us feel we had a connection. She is 79, and she doesn't sound like someone of this age. Please keep going the next 20 years.

We also loved the botanical garden, it's one special place, maybe the most special one we ever visited.

Thanks

Today I decided to visit the most beautiful Botanical Gardens in South Africa. Yes, it represented the name. It exceptionally excellent and phenomenal. As a horticulturist I was happy with the standard and learnt a lot. Has a huge space for various outdoors activities. I encourage that everyone attends this Garden when they are in the city. Really shows the Western Capes biodiversity and exotics as well.
