A different walkabout in South Africa
Soekershof, Private Mazes & Botanical Gardens in South Africa, is everything a garden should be; a place of calmness, relaxation and contemplation.
Not a garden with the banter of coffee corners, restaurants and craftshops.
Soekershof is a rare combination of aesthetics, cultural discoveries and ecological balance.
An unusual walk of Life
Walk, Wonder and be inspired
Soekershof Walkabout is a personal event which is simply described as the "Largest Hedge-Maze in the world" and/or "a garden with more than 2400 different succulents from all over the world under the open sky".But Soekershof IS more than that.
The original concept goes beyond all prejudice perceptions.
Walk, Wonder and be Inspired!!!
Just let it happen and take your time; a few hours at least.
Experiencing Soekershof Walkabout is, globally, a unique and hugely entertaining exercise for Body, Mind and Spirit; not to be missed.
Daily Tours: 11 AM and 3 PM (sharp!!!)

Wow, that's quite the maze. I would love to visit South Africa and in fact, it's on my 'wish list'! We tend to have 'corn mazes' here in Ontario. They're always great a great experience as well. Fran Posted September 02, 2007 |
