Experts' Choice Award Pretoria National Botanical Garden
What the experts agree on
Sprawling 76-hectare garden showcasing South Africa's indigenous flora across two distinct botanical zones divided by a dramatic quartzite ridge—a serene escape from urban Pretoria with thousands of native plant species.
“The garden is 76ha of pristine natural beauty which is divided in two by a 35 metre high quartzite ridge, creating 2 totally different botanical worlds.”
