It is situated close to many remarkable attraction of this country including the Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, Cape Winelands and the Paarl. Lying adjacent to the Cape of Good Hope, it is officially the southernmost city of the entire African continent. And that means that it is far from being land locked and upon reaching here via flights to Cape Town, one truly gets that taste of ultimate freedom. With emerald-green Ocean waving in front of you as if contained within a snow globe, the view around here is anything but ordinary. Popularly known as the Moederstad or the Mother City, this place goes by the name of Kaapstad in the Afrikaans dialect.
In a city as naturally gifted as this specific one, it would be quite surprising if the landscapes were not punctuated by well-tended gardens and lawns. One of the best of this particular kind is the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. It remains open every single day during September to March from early in the morning to evening. And its location could not have been better. It is present in the Table Mountain area right underneath the Castle Bustress cliffs as you would explore with tickets to Cape Town from UK. This world renowned garden has been erected on the land donated by Cecil Rhodes Kirstenbosch to the local authorities.
The variety of flowers that bloom every other season here brings fresh joy to the tourists and locals alike. And with this varying flora, new kind of birds start flocking to this part of the town thus adding melodious symphony to the local acoustics that echo all over these woods throughout the day. Sunset concerts are the highlight of summer months here when both local and exotic music maestros unite to put forward one of the best live entertainments shows that you might have seen till date.
