Southern Africa is synonymous with magnificent nature, fascinating wildlife and a unique cultural diversity. However, let us not forget that socio-economic and conservation challenges are a reality in this part of the world. The African Moments Team is committed to supporting projects which forward these aims, in both our home and neighbouring countries. Thanks in part to your ongoing generosity, we are able to assist where help is needed and have hand-selected various non-profit organisations that are close to our hearts.
Our utmost respect goes to the fantastic Greenpop organisation! This inspiring team collaborates with passionate individuals (both locals & visitors alike), by planting trees and edible gardens in informal settlements, schools, clinics and urban environments throughout Southern Africa. This “tree-volution” is busy stimulating a new eco-consciousness within and improving the surroundings and welfare of the local communities that Greenpop is involved with.
We also wholeheartedly support the Home from Home initiative, which provides children who are orphaned, abandoned, neglected or abused with a new home, as well as the Imizamu Yethu Educare Centre, which ensures children a better future through education and day-care.
If you want to gain a unique and fascinating insight into daily township life during your stay in Cape Town, we can gladly organize a day tour with our preferred township-tour operator, Uthando Tours.
In addition, we are blown away by the efforts of the Chipembere Rhino Foundation, which was established with the aim of protecting the African rhino. This team works under tough conditions and achieve incredible feats to protect this precious species.
The African Moments Team encourages their clients to give something back, however small, to the region they travel to. Thus, we include a voluntary donation to one of these organisations in each of our itineraries that we compile for you. These donations are then passed on 1:1 to the relevant organisation – NO admin fees involved! Should you wish to get more involved in one of the above projects, we can gladly put you into contact with them… simply let us know!
