We extensively made use of the hop on-hop off facility on the Blue Tour part of the red sightseeing bus\'s tour offering - giving you the best way to see Cape Town - the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens is world-renowned for the beauty and div... ersity of the Cape flora! Just looking at the magnificence of its setting against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain - makes it worth a visit. Unique is the bookshop, restaurants, fauna and flora specialists and fantastic open-air sculpture setting. I found the long queues to the Kirstenbosch ticket office annoying and it is amazing that this has not been upgraded to handle more influx of people. (May I suggest that city sightseeing sells these from their site???!) - So little time, so much to do. Overall a fantastic place to wind down!

My Garden ParadiseShow Details

We arrived at Kirstenbosch via one or your tours (i think the blue scenic tour) and upon entering the huge garden scape I understood why Cape Town is famous for its harbour as well as its natural setting in the Cape floral kingdom, including such wel... l-known landmarks as Table Mountain and Kirstenbosch. It was interesting to note that tours are available on golf carts offered by Kirstenbosch - carting one around over the steeper areas. But with the well layedout garden, stone pathways and ample shade, I can\'t see why anyone would need to be carted around. Well that is what I told my wife! We will come back next year, over June/July with the soccer and will then do the Red City Tour - up to Table Mountain we go. From there I hope to see \'my garden paradise\' again!
