American Express Essentials selects Kirstenbosch as the Top 14 of spectacular gardens worth travelling for! Congratulations for this international recognition.
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is spotlighted globally for its breathtaking indigenous fynbos and dramatic Table Mountain backdrop, earning a proud feature in this article by Jessica Keller.
" Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens in Cape Town, South Africa - Sprawling across the eastern slopes of Cape Town's Table Mountain, Kirsttenbosh combines theatrical mountain vistas with the extraordinary diverse plant live of the Cape Floristic Region. Visit from late winter into spring to see the famous fynbos shrubland at its most colourful, when king proteas, pincushions, ericas and other indigenous blooms put on a spectacular show. For far-reaching views, follow the sinuous "Boomslang" free canopy walkway as it snakes through and above the arboretum. Come summer, the gardens takes on a different guise, as the lawns of Kirstenbosch transfer into a natural amphitheatre for the popular Summer Sunset Concert series." American Express Essentials
