The staff at the herbarium was amazing. I really appreciate their support. They made my stay a very pleasant one.

Great resource, beautifully laid out. A joy. Pity no picnicking, though

Very well maintained and kept and immaculately clean

If you want a quiet and peaceful place. Visit this onw

What an awesome day....My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our picnic

Its a good garden. Fill a water bottle and come walk around. There are so many things to see even small game. Entry fees are on the SANBI website.

The best ParkRun venue

Loved the national botanical garden.

A favourite to just walk around and have a picnic.

Calm, peaceful and relaxing

Pack a picnic basket and go into the outdoors a little. Best would be to leave all electronics at home and spend some time in the outdoors. It has improved a lot since the last time I was there and things seem to be going better again. The waterfall has running water again and the restaurant inside the garden is open for business again. They offer lovely little pre packed picnic baskets.

Beautiful informative place to be

A very chilled, safe place for any occasions.

Surrounded by beautiful nature

Experience nature healing outdoor.

It is a very quiet, calm place. Good for relaxing and feeling in touch with nature. Good for people who appreciate plants,small mammals and a variety of birds

Well done to Pretoria botanical gardens. Our first visit in lockdown. Highly organised efficient and professional.

Natures best plant species all around in a huge landscape garden. Cant seem to get enough of the feelings and knowledge I get, every time I come here.

Farewell things...

Nice place to go for a walk or a run. Beautiful gardens, well maintained. Will recommend it to anyone.

The botanical gardens are a small haven from the city, great for picnics, and theres a paved walk of about 3 kilometres. Theres a fair amount of bird life, plenty of trees and a small waterfall. A good outdoor restaurant too. Overall, the infrastructure is deteriorating due to poor maintenance, and the plant life needs more care. But still worth a visit.

Gardens are picking up after covid19 and winter.

Visited the Mary Gunn Library....an amazing place! The work that is being done here has an international impact! Inspirational!

Beautiful scenery. The ponds need a bit of attention though. It enhances the experience. Great place to walk.

Lovely setting, great how they have integrated the various buildings into the landscape. Some really great research happening there, especially on the the Foundational Biodiversity side of things, great colleagues, always a pleasure to visit their.

Its a great environment to relax and listen to different species of birds.

Very calm and peaceful place to be

Its an amazing place if you love plants, the library was amazing, the herbarium was great with a lot of assistance

Hiking paths well maintained, but needing some repairs here and there after the rains.

South Africa can be very proud of this dedicated and passionate team of professional scientists

It is an ideal place especially in a city to observe, understand & learn about terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem biodiversity - management & conservation thereof.

A peaceful resort and nature place. Its family friendly!

Its a great place if you wanna confront nature and unwind,

Beautiful quiet place with roaming guineafowls galore.

The park is in amazing condition , it is safe and I would reccomend it for picnics or even a nice walk.

Nice tranquil place to treat your loved one for a picnic...

Very relaxing. Definitely recommend it if you want to relax and have a picnic.

Beautiful, lovely picnic area and a nice tea garden.

Well maintained indigenous garden. Not to be missed

Always one of the best getaway places one could never get enough of

Great place to find peace in the urban jungle and learn about biodiversity and its many facets

The place to learn more about plants and other cool stuff.

The waterfall pump does not work and that area looks very neglected. Otherwise nice to walk and learn about the different trees and plants.

Lovely garden. You enjoy nature
