Parks in Cape Town

Table Mountain National Park is a vast, protected wilderness stretching from Signal Hill to Cape Point, encompassing the entire spine of the Cape Peninsula. It protects the Cape Floristic Region, the smallest of the world's six plant kingdoms and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is one of the great botanical gardens of the world, set against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. It showcases the extraordinary diversity of the Cape Floristic Region, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Newlands Forest is a magical stretch of ancient indigenous forest on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. Giant yellowwood and camphor trees create a cool, shaded canopy, making it one of Cape Town's most popular spots for trail running, dog walking, and forest bathing.

The Company's Garden is a 6-hectare park and garden in the heart of Cape Town's city centre. Originally established by the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in 1652 to grow fresh produce for passing ships, it is the oldest garden in South Africa.
