Prof. Aleksei Oskolski (UJ) and Alexander Zavialov visited Grootbos to study the parasitic plant Mystropetalon thomii

Last week, the Green Futures College Hospitality class kicked off their practical work experience at Grootbos Lodge! After 10 days in the classroom and completing their online assessments, they were thrilled to dive into real-world learning.
With individual mentors to guide them, the students got a behind-the-scenes look at how a responsible tourism luxury lodge operates. It's a fantastic opportunity to learn, grow, and gain hands-on experience in the hospitality industry.
Wishing them all the best on this exciting journey!
