Route Description: • Meet at the car park at Kirstenbosch Gardens. Leave a car there and drive to Constantia Nek. • From Constantia Nek follow the road for 500m until you reach a fork. Take the left fork heading upwards. • Continue straight along this road. You will pass a road forking up to the right and later on a road that goes down to the left but just continue straight along this road. • The road ends at a top of a hill, where it becomes a single track path that takes you up some steps. At the top of these steps you catch your first glimpse of Kirstenbosch. • Here, there is a path that leads down to the right and one that continues along to the left… take the left path. • This single track path continues round into Nursery Ravine over a stream then round into Skeleton Gorge. • There are numerous paths leading down to Kirstenbosch but continue along the path crossing streams and two wooden bridges. • Shortly after the second wooden bridge you will come across a fork in the path. There is a sign at this fork that indicates the left path heading towards “Contour path, Rhodes memorial & Silvertree trail. The other sign for the right fork reads “Kirstenbosch”. Take this Kirstenbosch path. • This path leads you down some steps until it hits a gravel road. • Don’t take the road leading down, but rather turn right and follow the road until you reach the next path down to the left. There is a sign pointing out the path that will read “Garden/Tuin” • Follow this path down into the gardens.
