Conservation
Conservation is not our marketing layer. It is the infrastructure beneath the whole business. Every guest, by staying, funds the protection of a Gondwanan relict ecosystem. None of it happens fast. None of it happens alone.
Drone-supported protection of the reserve's rhino, run through the Gondwana Conservation Foundation.
The Strategic Alien Removal Programme clears black wattle so the indigenous fynbos can return.
Supporting the long-term survival of a vulnerable predator in the wild.
Education for local children, and a tertiary fund taking students into conservation careers.
The Gondwana Conservation Foundation is a registered non-profit. A conservation levy is built into every stay, so protecting this land is something you take part in simply by being here.
"To protect what came before us, for what comes after."In 2019 the Foundation rediscovered Gladiolus roseovenosus on the reserve, a Western Cape flower once thought all but lost, with fewer than 200 plants recorded in the wild. It has been monitored and studied here ever since.
