The Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens is a natural wonder situated adjacent to the Table Mountain National Park.
Here, evidence was found to support the fact that the area was inhabited by Stone Age man more than 2000 years before Europeans first discovered this land.
When the Dutch East India Company formed a refreshment station at the Cape, this land became protected to secure the existing forest for its valuable timber.
Between 1657 and 1895,  this land was sold no less than 9 times. It eventually became the property of the Union of South Africa in 1902, when it was decided to create a botanical garden for scientific, educational, tourist, and leisure purposes.

Many indigenous plants and trees can be found here. The general term for the naturally occurring plant life is called fynbos (fine bush).
The Fynbos consists of four families:
- Proteas
- Ericas
- Restios
- Geophytes

The walking tour will include many hidden gems that one can only enjoy and appreciate with a knowledgeable Tourist Guide.

(This tour does require one to pay an entrance fee at the gardens)

We'll start the tour at Heritage Square.

Oppression in Southern Africa was practiced long before European settlers arrived in 1652.

The dark side of the Cape Colony has to be the system of slavery.
Later on, the Bantu people who migrated from Central Africa and settled along the eastern section of Southern Africa, suffered a unique and harsh kind of oppression and abuse.
After the policy of apartheid was officially introduced, South Africa experienced a very troublesome era in it's history with the systematic segregation and separateness.
As a result, there was resistance that included the armed struggle, terrorism, smuggling, boycotts, sanctions and people going into exile.

You'll have an opportunity learn more about how these practices impacted the mixed race people of this region. 

The evil system of apartheid was perpetuated by the assistance of various international countries and organizations who supported the racist policies of the the National Party.
 

The influence of leaders like Nelson Mandela was able to achieve the birth of the New South Africa whereby freedom for all is possible.  As a result, the country could open up to the world and this includes welcoming millions of visitors to our beautiful city year after year. 

Please note, this tour is not meant to challenge anyone regarding political views.
