Tintswalo Collection has introduced a new programme of conservation talks and experiences in partnership with SANParks and the SANParks Honorary Rangers.
According to Lisa Goosen, CEO of Tintswalo Collection, the partnership aims to move beyond standard sightseeing by bringing an education component into the guest itinerary.
Every booking includes a conservation contribution that directly supports projects undertaken by SANParks Honorary Rangers, helping to preserve the unique ecosystems of Table Mountain and the wider Cape Peninsula.
The Cape Peninsula Conservation Experience launches at Boulders Beach, focusing on African penguin conservation, before extending into the Cape of Good Hope. Guests will be accompanied by rangers while they explore hidden corners of the Peninsula, learning about its wildlife, marine life, birdlife and indigenous fynbos, gaining insight into the ecosystems and the conservation work protecting them. It includes return transport from their Tintswalo hotel, park and entrance fees, a picnic lunch as well as a mask, snorkel and towels.
The Back Table Mountain Conservation Experience reveals a more secluded side of this iconic landscape. Guests can choose between exploring the Orangekloof Valley and Disa River, following indigenous forest, rock pools and historic waterworks before a mountain picnic, or the Woodhead Reservoir and Echo Valley route discovering the history of Table Mountain’s waterworks and hidden trails that provide habitat for the endangered Table Mountain Ghost Frog.
The conservation experiences and talks are available to guests staying at Tintswalo’s three Cape Town properties: Tintswalo Atlantic, Tintswalo Boulders and Tintswalo Summer House.
