Tips from the community
The Kirstenbosch Botanic Garden is home to a large collection of African plants and offers trails carved out for trekkers and stone sculptures set in the gardens for artists. In summertime, you’ll often find live concerts held on the grass on Sundays. The garden is one of nine National Botanical Gardens covering five of South Africa’s six different biomes and administered by the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI).

Praised as one of the greatest botanic gardens of the world, Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden is a favorite among both locals and visitors. Known for its Insta-worthy Tree Canopy Walkway, summer concert series, and breathtaking biodiversity, you could spend days at Kirstenbosch and never get bored. While the gardens are open all year round, we recommend visiting sometime between August and November so you can see the park’s famous fynbos flowers in bloom.

We wandered the sprawling grounds of plentiful flowers at The Royal Botanical Garden in England and sweat beneath the Arizona sun admiring oddly shaped cacti at the Desert Botanical Garden. Whether it's the aesthetic zen of rock gardens in Japan or well-kept orchard collections in Singapore, we chose a selection of our favorite gardens so you can have a safe bet for your itinerary.
