Unusual Private Mazes & Botanical Gardens in South Africa
Not a 'botanical garden' with the banter of coffee corners, restaurants and craftshops.
Soekershof is a rare combination of aesthetics, cultural discoveries and ecological balance.
The description "mazes & botanical gardens' is a simplified one. There is more. It's all a personal experience and a huge exercise for body, mind and spirit.
And once taken the step; visitors are becoming regular visitors wether they are from South Africa, Switzerland, Australia or the USA.
Soekershof is not designated for mass tourism. Owners and staff value personalised hospitality. This is also unusual in a time that tourist attractions are going for the numbers.
Soekershof is certified by Fair Trade in Tourism in South Africa.
Take your time.
An unusual walk of Life
Walk, Wonder and be inspired
Soekershof; Private Mazes & Botanical Gardens in South Africa is a personal event which is simply described as the "Largest Hedge-Maze in the world" and/or "a garden with almost 2500 different registered 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.
The interactive exploration of Soekershof is, globally, a unique and hugely entertaining experience.

Developments in and around Soekershof Private Mazes & Botanical Gardens in South Africa. Not very much liked by many 'locals' for it advertised responsible drinking and driving once ............
According to statistics (for us an indication): 27% of South Africans drink to get drunk and 8% is drugs addicted .........
The rest is OK.

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
