Soekershof Walkabout, Mazes & Botanical Gardens in South Africa ([HYPERLINK@soekershof.com]) 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.

For tour groups Soekershof offers a guided tour (duration approx. 1 hr) in the succulent gardens. For groups with more time to spend (average visitor needs 4 hours to undergo the full experience) the tour starts with a stone age movie in a stone age cinema; a quest in the world's largest hedge-maze; a stroll in the Philosophers Garden; the shortest hiking trail in South Africa; dam walk and a comprehensive tour in the succulent gardens.

Soekershof Walkabout distinguish itself from other botanical gardens in South Africa by a different more down to Earth approach of plant life and with the absence of all banter like restaurants, craft- and curioshops, coffeecorners, etc.
