{"product_id":"south-africa-gauteng-walter-sisulu-national-botanical-garden","title":"Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou walk through Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden on the edge of Johannesburg, where indigenous plants grow around a waterfall that has drawn visitors since the late 1800s. The garden is home to over two hundred bird species, from fairy flycatchers to Verreaux's eagles — a pair of which nest here year-round, one of the few urban pairs known. The eagles weigh about five kilograms and have a wingspan up to two point three meters; they hunt dassies and guinea fowl from the cliffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe garden changes with the seasons. In spring, coral trees bloom red; in summer, scarlet river lilies line the stream near the restaurant. Winter brings aloes to flower in the succulent rockery, and the eagles raise their chicks. Paths wind through sections dedicated to cycads, water plants, and geological formations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA thatched restaurant serves meals on a wooden deck under the trees. The garden also has spaces for events, from small gatherings in woodland clearings to conferences in a hall that opens onto a veranda. The waterfall remains the centerpiece, as it was when visitors arrived by train over a century ago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51932147024092,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/8256\/8156\/files\/walter-sisulu-national-botanical-garden-botanical-garden-poortview-roodepoort-south-africa-01.webp?v=1783185596","url":"https:\/\/murmurgo.com\/products\/south-africa-gauteng-walter-sisulu-national-botanical-garden","provider":"Murmurgo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
