You step out of an air-conditioned minivan into a broad sweep of green where the mountain breathes down cool air — Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden opens like a living map of South African flora. Paths curve beneath tall proteas, fynbos tilts in the breeze, and the Boomslang canopy walk grants a higher-angle view of Table Mountain pressing the sky.
