Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden

The Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden spans over 300 hectares, featuring the Witpoortjie Waterfall and multiple walking trails through different ecosystems.

Originally established in 1982, the garden received its name from Walter Sisulu, an influential figure who opposed the apartheid system in South Africa.

The garden maintains educational programs at the Nestle Environmental Education Centre, teaching visitors about South African plant species and conservation methods.

Entrance tickets cost R100 for adults, R50 for students, and R25 for children, with the garden operating daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

A pair of Verreaux's Eagles maintains a permanent nest on the cliffs near the waterfall, contributing to the recorded presence of 240 bird species.
