Durban Botanic Gardens

This is a very tranquil place. It is a good place for a picnic, feed the ducks or a relaxing walk. Do all if you like... Well worth the time... Recently visited for the Trail of Lights. Absolutely blown away.

We visit here often and always have an incredible time. It's a scenic, safe and peaceful walk through. Definitely a place to take in nature. The most enjoyable time to visit is around Christmas when the Trail of Lights begin.

One of my most favourite places to go. The bird life is superb and there are so many Birders there who help to identify birds we do not know, especially the LBJ' (Little Brown Jobbies) as we call them. The Botanical Gardens are rich in Birds (as mentioned) and the insect life is amazing, including the many trees, and, especially all the butterflies.It is a historical site and I would certainly recommend it to anyone and everyone.There are a few guides there who are glad to help at any time - Vishnu and Peter. Really knowledgeable guides who know a ton of stuff...

I recently visited Durban Botanic Gardens and was blown away by its beauty and tranquility. As soon as I entered the gardens, I was mesmerized by the stunning Japanese gardens. The carefully curated landscaping and serene water features truly transported me to another world.But the Japanese gardens were not the only highlight of my visit - I also loved exploring the gardens of the senses. The vibrant colors, fragrant smells, and interesting textures truly engaged all of my senses. It was fascinating to learn about the different plants and their unique properties.Overall, Durban Botanic Gardens is a must-visit destination for anyone looking for a peaceful escape in the heart of the city. Whether you're a nature lover or just looking for a serene spot to relax, the gardens have something for everyone. The Japanese gardens and gardens of the senses are particularly special and not to be missed. I can't wait to visit again and explore even more of this beautiful botanical oasis.

The annual Christmas Trails of Light event at the Botanical Garden is a winner. Aside from this this is a great place for a family picnic or just a get away for calm in the very center of Durban. Very beautiful place with lots of species of trees.
