Walk Above the Trees: Discover the Aerial Boardwalk in Cape Town

Escape into nature and explore Cape Town from a new perspective with a stroll along the Aerial Boardwalk — a unique treetop walkway that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape, lush forest canopy, and the city beyond. Located in the heart of the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, this elevated experience blends natural beauty with serene adventure.

The curved steel-and-timber pathway weaves through the indigenous trees and fynbos, allowing visitors to walk high above the ground and immerse themselves in the sights, sounds, and scents of one of the world’s most celebrated gardens. Nicknamed “The Boomslang” for its winding, snake-like design, the boardwalk offers panoramic photo opportunities, peaceful nature encounters, and a refreshing escape from the city below.

Perfect for all ages and fitness levels, the Aerial Boardwalk is a gentle yet captivating experience for families, nature lovers, photographers, and tourists. Whether you’re visiting Kirstenbosch for the first time or returning for a tranquil day outdoors, the boardwalk adds a memorable highlight to your visit.

Take a walk on the wild side — elevated, elegant, and entirely unforgettable.
