The freshwater from the catchment areas in the mountains bring essential nutrients into estuaries that are vital for ecosystem functioning. Unfortunately, along with the vital nutrients there is also a continuous flow of waste, in particular, plastic waste.

What better way is there to celebrate South Africa’s coinciding Tourism Month and Heritage Month than immersing yourself in nature…for free? Between 20-27 September 2022, CapeNature will open its doors for an entire week to everyone free of charge. 

Free your mind from the city life blues by relishing in the crispy fresh air of what famous poet Stephen Watson describes as, “A mountainscape both dry and shining, desolate yet so rich.” Explore the mesmerising Cederberg Mountain landscape by taking a leisurely hike or lying back in style on an old-school donkey cart.
