Africa's oldest university botanical garden, a short walk from Stellenbosch's main street.

Why it’s worth it

Glasshouses, themed gardens, a bonsai collection and a mix of native and imported plants are packed into a small central site, so it is easy to fit in between a museum and lunch. It is a pleasant place to see fynbos, succulents and cycads without driving anywhere. Children must be supervised throughout, and the café on site makes a natural pause.
