Our Partners
Conservation
South Africa
Our key objective is to work towards a future where humans live in harmony with nature. We are making this future a reality by focusing on projects that have both an enabling (influencing policies, markets, knowledge and funding) and an implementation (demonstrating tangible outcomes on the ground) impact.
Peace Parks
Foundation
The Peace Parks dream is to re-establish, renew and preserve large functional ecosystems that transcend man-made boundaries and thereby protecting and regenerating natural and cultural heritage vital to enabling and sustaining a harmonious future for man and the natural world.
Jonsson
Workwear
We want to empower all working people to perform to the best of their ability every day. We believe in excellent service and products of the highest quality; manufacturing and distributing garments ourselves. This ensures we maintain excellent quality, hold sufficient stock and offer short lead times.
SA College

The SA College for Tourism provides professional training to unemployed men and women from impoverished rural backgrounds, to equip them to take up skilled positions in the nature-based tourism industry. In addition to hospitality training, the college offers tracker training through its Tracker Academy, as well as eco-herding skills through a newly launched Herding Academy.
The Savory
Institute
Grasslands are vast landscapes that have the capacity, if properly managed, to address some of humanityÕs most urgent challenges such as water and food insecurity, poverty, and climate change. Currently, grasslands are desertifying at alarming rates. Holistic Management of grasslands results in the regeneration of soils, increased productivity and biological diversity, as well as economic and social well-being.
South African
Wildlife College
On our campus in the Greater Kruger National Park, is the perfect classroom to provide working examples for our students to learn conservation theory and best practices in and out of the classroom. As part of "learning by doing", we establish a cycle of innovation and development so our curriculum is constantly evolving. This means that through our various training programmes, we're addressing current conservation training needs and shaping the conservation landscape of the future.
Cape Leopard
Trust
The Cape Leopard Trust is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organisation engaged in innovative research, conservation and education projects established to facilitate and promote the conservation of biological diversity. The CLT consists of a small, highly dedicated, educated and enthusiastic team, spread across a number of project areas.

Endangered Wildlife Trust
Karoo Vulture Safe Zone
Many of us view the Karoo as one of the last conservation frontiers of South Africa. Vast, wild landscapes that boast rugged mountain ranges, dry riverbeds and wide-open spaces that have stood relatively undisturbed and untransformed for centuries. It is also home to an extraordinary array of large birds of prey, including Verreaux's Eagles, Martial Eagles as well as White-backed and Cape Vultures.
Meat Naturally
Meat Naturally partners with NGOs to offer rural farmers formal training on regenerative grazing techniques, rangeland restoration practices, cattle management, stock theft patrol, and predator control. We also support NGO economic goals by organizing mobile auctions and abattoirs to provide small-scale famers with the opportunity to reach new markets.
