A Treelover's Ode to Kirstenbosch Gardens

Discover more about this botanical garden at the eastern foot of Table Mountain in Cape Town here. As garden lovers ourselves, we highly recommend a visit during your stay in the Mother City - it's only a 12 min (9,5 km) drive from our front door.
Below are some photos from our recent visit to this great botanical garden as part of our #paradisoexplores adventure.
