more about National Botanical Garden

  1. Two Worlds in One: A 35-meter quartzite ridge splits the garden, creating unique microclimates. The north-facing section basks in warmth, while the south side offers a cooler, more temperate zone. This allows a wider variety of plants to thrive.
  2. Birding Paradise: Over 220 bird species call the Pretoria National Botanical Garden home. Keep your eyes peeled for hawks, falcons, kestrels, and even the majestic Verreaux’s Eagle soaring through the skies.
  3. A Haven for Research: The garden is more than just a pretty place. It serves as the headquarters of the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), playing a crucial role in plant conservation and research.
  4. Family Fun: Pretoria National Botanical Garden is a fantastic spot for a family outing. Children will love exploring the gardens, while adults can appreciate the diverse flora and beautiful scenery. The on-site cafe makes it perfect for a relaxing picnic lunch.
  5. Historically Significant: Established in 1946, the Pretoria National Botanical Garden has a rich history. The land was previously part of the University of Pretoria’s experimental farm, deemed unsuitable for agriculture due to the presence of a poisonous plant and its isolated location.
