Donate to Access Week 2022
Your donation will unlock nature’s wonders for our most vulnerable groups
September in South Africa is both Heritage Month and Tourism Month. And, to celebrate, CapeNature is opening selected reserves to day visitors for free during Access Week from 20 to 27 September 2022, waiving the usual conservation fee.
This initiative helps to expose South Africans from all walks of life to the joys of local tourism and our country’s diverse natural heritage – including the Cape Floristic Kingdom and marine protected areas.
But not everyone has the financial means to truly appreciate our natural landscapes, even during Access Week. For several years, we have treated less-privileged groups to transport to and from our nature reserves, as well as preparing them a special picnic, and taking them on a guided tour and sometimes even a hike. And they have all had a whale of a time!

How your donation will make a difference
Nature has many healing properties, and it gladdens our hearts to see golden oldies, children from disadvantaged backgrounds and abused women beaming from ear to ear while out in the fresh air, listening to the birds, enjoying the scenery and exploring the great outdoors.
This year, with your help, we’d like to do the same. Your generous donations will enable CapeNature to prepare a special outing for some of our province’s most vulnerable people, from learners to people with disabilities and residents of old-age homes.
We love it when our local communities come to our reserves to experience the Western Cape in all its natural splendour. Let’s all play a part in helping residents rediscover their sense of wonder through nature!
“Thank you for giving our learners this chance to participate in a programme in such an amazing environment – many of their parents and friends have never had the chance to attend such.”
“It was very impressive for the learners to be taught about living and non-living things. The lessons were very good and can help us in the classroom.”
“It was good for the learners to learn how to plant trees, and for them to be involved in the activities. The message they learnt was to preserve nature.”
