Why donate to our projects?
Imagine living a stone’s throw away from a CapeNature reserve, but never experiencing its beauty. Imagine a world where threatened species quietly go extinct, never to be seen again. Now imagine how a simple donation could help turn those two scenarios around. Yes, your contribution can make a difference!
CapeNature collects funds to enable adjacent communities, underprivileged children and the elderly to visit our reserves for free. We are also grateful for your donations that will help us build a safe haven for the protected Cape mountain zebra population.
We accept online payments from anywhere in the world, processed in South African Rand (ZAR) via PayGate. An online currency converter tool is provided as a guide.
All major credit and debit cards are accepted. Just choose your preferred donation amount and the project you would like to support.
Thank you for your generosity!

How your donation will make a difference
Give the gift of nature this Access Week
Your donation – no matter how big or small – will help our local communities enjoy the healing and life-enriching properties of nature in one of our reserves.
During Access Week, which takes place in September each year, we’ll be opening selected reserves to the public for free (excluding accommodation fees), giving all South Africans the opportunity to appreciate their scenic natural heritage.
With your help, we will be able to give our province’s senior citizens, residents with special needs, children from less-privileged backgrounds and other groups a day to remember – complete with transport, a picnic and a dedicated guide!
Help us conserve the Cape mountain zebra
Cape mountain zebra are globally considered “conservation dependent”. This means the long-term survival of this subspecies in the wild depends on the adequate protection and management of the animals and their habitat.
A small subpopulation of Cape mountain zebra occurs on Anysberg, and conserving it effectively requires the improved fencing of a portion of this extensive nature reserve.
To strengthen the Anysberg Cape mountain zebra subpopulation, additional animals should be translocated to Anysberg to increase the genetic variability and breeding success. However, new animals can only be introduced once the entire reserve is securely fenced.
