Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden - flagship of the National Botanical Institute of South Africa - was established in 1913 to conserve and promote the indigenous flora of southern Africa. Kirstenbosch is internationally acclaimed as one of the great botanical gardens of the world.
Situated on the eastern slopes of Cape Town's magnificent Table Mountain, the estate, covering 528 hectares, includes a cultivated Garden and a nature reserve. The developed Garden (36 hectares) displays collections of southern African plants including many rare and endangered species.
