Free guided tours of the garden take place – weather permitting – from Mondays to Fridays at 10h00, 11h00 and 14h00. Guided tours leave from the Visitor’s Centre (Gate 1).
The are no guided walks on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. On the first Monday of the month, there are no walks at 10h00 and 11h00.
Our guides are volunteers. Each tour can accommodate a maximum of 15 people on a first come first serviced basis. Due to this limited number, we can unfortunately not accommodate tour groups. We therefore ask that tourist guides who bring groups to Kirstenbosch don’t join our free walks.
Each tour takes approximately 90 minutes. Each guide presents a unique tour, taking in the highlights of the season, exploring different areas of the garden while including some of its special features. The terrain is uneven at times and the tours are not wheelchair friendly.
These guided walks are free, but garden entry fees apply.
