At the Kirstenbosch Arboretumvisitorscanexploreandobserve some of the world's most endangeredplantspecies while walking along MarkThomas Architects' serpentine Tree Canopy walk.
Cycling is prohibited here, but it is worth dismounting and walking your bike along the meandering paths under a multicoloured canopy of elm, chestnut, beech and gingko leaves.
The woodcutters and gold prospectors may be long gone, but travellers can still relive this fascinating historic era through a series of forest walking trails that evoke the vanished world of the woodcutters, winding beneath the canopy along rust-coloured streams dappled with sun and shadow.
