GUIDED FYNBOS WALK

19 Oct - Explore the Cape's Unique Fynbos with Botanist Rupert Koopman

Join renowned botanist and wild food enthusiast Rupert Koopman for an Fynbos Walk this spring on October 19th at 10:00 AM. Nestled within the uniquely diverse fynbos flora of the Cape Point area, 10 months into its recovery after a devastating wildfire swept through the landscape, this guided walk offers an opportunity to delve into the fascinating relationship between fynbos and fire, discover the region's geology, history, and explore springtime blooms and wild flavours that are slowly returning to the land. With Rupert's deep knowledge of the indigenous and endemic plant species, you’ll gain a fresh ecological perspective on the fynbos that inspires our Veld and Sea experiences and menus.

Event Highlights:

·        Expert-led walk through Cape Point’s fynbos (no foraging due to post-burn ecological sensitivity)

·        Fynbos tea and rusks in the Glasshouse following the walk

·        Access to browse through a curated collection of plant books in our mini wild library

Limited to only 20 guests—reserve your spot today and immerse yourself in the rich beauty of the Cape’s unique flora!

Cost: R450
