Enjoy a quick green escape from Cape Town and join in a picnic lunch on the clearings of the spectacular, rugged and elegant slopes of Mount T'Pol. Pack a bottle of Stellenbosch and some biltong (beef jerky-like food) - it's much easier to carry than crocodile or ostrich burgers - and hike the trails through native woods and fenbu Si (Afrikaans - fine bush or shrubland). There are more than 7,000 plant species and native plants growing in this vast botanical garden, as well as some plant display areas dedicated to medicines and spices, as well as South Africa's national flower, the king's flower.
Quick green escape refers to a fashionable activity for city people to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and go to the outer suburbs to find a quiet and green life.
