Kirstenbosch celebrates 101 years with you!

Tuesday 1 July is Kirstenbosch’s 101st birthday and visitors can enjoy FREE entry to the Garden that day.

With school holidays on the go this is the day to take the family and explore the Garden. The newest addition is the Tree Canopy Walkway affectionately known as the “boomslang”. Experience a magical part of the garden as you traverse the treetops of the Enchanted Forest and discover the beauty of the Aboretum. If photography is a passion the walkway offers a new perspective of the garden – so shoot some frames and enter a picture in the Botanical Society Photography competition.
