Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden

Saturday, 23 of September we drove to the Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens in Roodepoot, near Jo'burg. It is a beautiful garden with a number of different small gardens. It also boasts the lovely Witpoorjie Waterfall. We enjoyed walking and sitting to enjoy the beauties of nature including lots of birds. The Garden is famous for the Verreaux eagles who nest there. We saw them but they were too high for a photo. It was nice to get away from the city and only 45 minutes from our apartment.

This is what mosquitoes look like here!
