About this tour
This Botanical Garden was founded in 1982, but has been a popular venue for outings since the 1800s. The Garden has been voted the best place to get back to nature in Gauteng for 9 years in a row.
The natural vegetation of the area is known as the 'Rocky Highveld Grassland' and consists of a mosaic of grassland and savanna, with dense bush in kloofs and along streams. The variety of habitats accommodates over 600 naturally occurring plant species.
A breeding pair of majestic Verreaux's Eagles nest on the cliffs alongside the waterfall. The Garden is home to an abundance of wildlife with over 220 bird species recorded on site, as well as reptiles and small mammals, including small antelope and jackals.
