Hantam National Botanical Garden

Hantam National Botanical Garden is a botanical garden in Nieuwoudtville that spreads across a large landscape of rocky terrain and native shrub vegetation. The site features several hiking trails and protects many plant species found in the region.

The land was known by different names in earlier times before becoming an official national botanical garden in 2007. This change transformed it into a protected space for preserving native plants.

The garden serves as a gathering place where visitors discover the plant diversity of the region through their own walks and observations. People come here to understand how plants adapt to the local climate and rocky terrain.

Visitors can choose among marked hiking trails to explore the grounds at their own pace. The best time to visit is between August and mid-October, when many plants are flowering.

The site provides habitat for rare bird species such as cranes and harriers that visitors can watch while exploring. This wildlife diversity makes it much more than just a plant garden.
