About
Szybkie fakty: A fragrant sweep of fynbos and towering proteas spills down rocky slopes, so after rain the air takes on a heady, honeyed sweetness. Stroll the elevated treetop path for bird's-eye views of gardens and mountain, where sunbirds and butterflies flit through the blooms and summer concerts turn the lawns into an open-air living room.
Najważniejsze atrakcje: Walk the 130-meter Boomslang canopy and you’ll be eye-level with banks of proteas, carpets of fynbos and Cape sugarbirds probing bright orange Leucospermum spikes, while the timber underfoot holds the sun’s warmth. On summer Sunday evenings hundreds of people roll out picnic rugs and string fairy lights for the outdoor concert series, where Cape jazz and classical mix with the scent of fynbos and the occasional bark of a dassie on the ridge.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable walking shoes, sunscreen and a hat, and carry a light jacket for mountain breezes.
- Arrive before 10:00 on weekdays to avoid crowds and get the best morning light for photography.
- Walk the Boomslang canopy for panoramic shots, then head to the Cycad amphitheatre for close fynbos and bird photos.
- Pack a picnic and reusable water bottle; café lines swell at lunchtime and there are pleasant lawns for a quiet break.
