About
This walk begins in the world-renowned Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, at the foot of Table Mountain. Here, Geoff sets the scene with stories of the Khoi Khoi people who once moved freely across this landscape, living off indigenous plants and the rhythms of nature. As the path winds out of the gardens and into the Constantia Valley, the narrative shifts through the arrival of the Dutch settlers, the shaping of the land into vineyards, and the rise of Constantia as the oldest wine-producing region in the Southern Hemisphere.
Along the way, Geoff brings the layers of history to life: how traditional plant medicine was used for healing to how Constantia’s wines became coveted in European cour...

We begin our journey in the heart of Kirstenbosch, surrounded by the beauty of indigenous fynbos and forest.
We walk beneath ancient trees as the stories of the land and its first peoples unfold around us.
We learn how the Khoi and San used these plants for healing, nourishment, and survival.
We rise above the canopy on the Boomslang walkway, taking in breathtaking views of Table Mountain.
We move through this living garden with reverence by walking in step with nature and history.

Cecilia Forest
We leave the cultivated gardens behind and step into the cool, shaded paths of Cecilia Forest.
We walk beneath tall pines and ancient oaks, listening to birdsong and the whisper of mountain streams.
We pause to feel the forest’s stillness that was once the lifeblood of old Cape Town’s water supply.
We follow winding trails where early explorers and woodcutters once passed in silence and awe.
We walk gently, sensing the power and memory held in this living, breathing forest sanctuary.

Constantia
We emerge from the forest at Constantia Nek, greeted by sweeping views and a sense of arrival.
We then head off to the vineyards for a wine tasting at a Constantia Wine farm to reflect, and celebrate the journey.
