At first sight, you’d think you were going to get lost in a mystical forest filled to the brim with dated and historical monuments, and you’d be absolutely right!

The Company’s Garden in Cape Town is a favourite destination among locals and tourists. The grounds are dotted with lush lawns encapsulated within beds of dense greenery. Ancient trees tower above the gardens, offering shade and scattered light that helps add to the naturalistic feel of the area. It is difficult to not mellow out completely in these gardens as you sip on some well made coffee at the gardens local restaurant.

Beauty and relaxation are not the only things this destination has to offer, the gardens have been tailored for fun and education too, spoiling visitors with large wooden sculptures of animals and massive woven birds’ nests to clamber into and swing on. There are several entrances to the gardens, but few offer the aesthetic value of the newly installed “Arch for Arch” entrance situated next to the prominent St Georges Cathedral on the corner of Wale and Adderley street, resembling an incredible geometric tessellation of interlinked wooden rings in amongst the trees.
