Sobre esta Trap
The Pretoria National Botanical Garden no longer takes cash, so bring a bank card or you may not get past the gate. EFT works only for pre-bookings. Last entry is an hour before closing in the evening, and the garden sometimes shuts for concerts and events, so check the SANBI notice on the day. Guided themed walks, including one to the tea garden and waterfall, must be booked ahead.
