CALL FOR NOMINATIONS TO SERVE ON THE CAPENATURE BOARD

(TWO APPOINTMENTS EFFECTIVE MARCH 2026 AND ONE APPOINTMENT EFFECTIVE APRIL 2026)

Green Noise, the acclaimed podcast series from CapeNature, is returning for its third season, promising its most immersive and thought-provoking episodes yet. Breaking away from the studio, CapeNature levelled up and recorded the entire season live and on location, atop the mountainous terrain of the Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve.

The Western Cape has added some 47 000 hectares to its conservation estate through the declaration of two new nature reserves and the expansion of two others. This significant expansion in protected areas provides space for Cape mountain zebras to breed and improves the protection of many threatened succulent plants.

When summer arrives in the Western Cape, it brings with it a sense of joy - long golden days, warm breezes, and the irresistible call of the great outdoors. What do we love most about this time of year?

If you’ve been dreaming of a nature-filled getaway, now’s the perfect time to make it happen. CapeNature’s Black Friday deal is back with a twist! From 25 November to 1 December 2025, book 3 consecutive nights at select CapeNature reserves and only pay for 2!
