Grootbos Biodiversity Stewards Explore Cape Agulhas

The Grootbos Foundation’s biodiversity stewards recently enjoyed a stunning day at Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point of Africa!

Field trips like this give local community contractors the opportunity to witness firsthand the value of tourism in South Africa, particularly in the Western Cape.
