South Africa
A nice 'green' combination between Cape Town and the Garden Route.
Bon Cape for it grows its grapes organically and produce South Africa's only wines with Michelangelo stars (see www.boncaporganic.co.za).
And Soekershof Walkabout, Mazes and Botanical Gardens because also this farm does not apply fertilisers and other chemicals in the cultivation of its unique collection of plants. Above all this place is a huge leg stretching entertainment area with an educational twist.

The most diverse collection of succulent plants from all over the world under the open sky.
The world's largest hedge-maze but also unique for other qualities.
