This walk begins in the world-renowned Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, set against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. Here, Geoff brings the landscape to life through stories of the Khoi Khoi people who once moved across this region in harmony with nature, living from the rich diversity of indigenous plants and water sources of the Cape. As the walk winds through ancient trees, shaded pathways, and the extraordinary fynbos of the Cape Floral Kingdom, guests discover the botanical, cultural, and historical significance of this remarkable garden. Along the way, Geoff shares stories of traditional plant medicine, early Cape history, and the vision that transformed Kirstenbosch into one of the world’s great botanical gardens. This is more than a scenic walk. It is a journey into the natural soul and living heritage of the Cape.

Great tour around Cape Town

Jojo was a perfect driver for us, he's nice and speaks an excellent French (and English as well). Robben Island, Kirstenbosch Gardens and Groot Constantia are great sites that deserve to be visited. Jacques

Soggy but memorable trip

First the positives. Jojo was a pleasant guide. He was punctual and a safe driver. Robbens Island experience really touched us in terms of the way Tory outlined things on the bus and Sparks an ex political prisoner described things to us in the prison. I had no idea the suffering and cruelty they experienced and hearing it from someone who lived it put it on a whole other levels. Unfortunately the weather was pretty bad when we went- the wind and the rain made for pretty rough going heading to the island that was exponentially worse coming back. That weather also made for less than conducive to explore the Gardens much. We skipped the wine tasting with the weather. Tour would be great with good weather so would recommend- you just cannot plan for Mother Nature!

A Great Day In Cape Town!

Georgeo, our tour guide, was professional, friendly and accommodating. Robben island was educational . Both the Island Staff tour guide and the tour guide that had been a political prisoner, offered a clear picture of the Island’s history, both recent and distant. The gardens were beautiful, even though it’s winter here. The food at Moyo offered the perfect comfort food for the time of year. Groot Constancia wineries offered a wine tasting of 5 of their wines. Each wine delivered a pleasant and distinct set of flavourful characteristics. We finished with the Groot Constana dessert wine that was once popular with both Napoleon and Jane Austin. This wine, I believe, is up there and perhaps better than some the best Ice wine, Port or Tokaji wines that I have had the chance to try. Thank you Shine the Way Tour’s.
