Great story from De Zeekoe
about two environmentalists they recently hosted at the Oudtshoorn
Guest Farm, en route around South Africa on a pair of scooters...
Melissa Andrews, a journalist, and Christopher List, a professional photographer, arrived at De Zeekoe Guest Farm on two dust-covered scooters, after discovering our conservation efforts and drive towards social upliftment and sustainability.
On the first leg of their 6-month, 7,500 km journey through all corners of SA on a carbon-neutral scooter safari,
the two environmentalists aim to explore, film, photograph and document
South Africa's natural beauty, the inspiring environmental projects
that aim to conserve this and replenish what's been lost, and share
their discoveries with the rest of the world.
They're doing this in support of Food & Trees for Africa, an NGO
that aims to put back more than we (as humans) take out, creating food
gardens for school kids and low-income communities, planting trees and
teaching people to become self-sufficient with permaculture methods.
Part of their journey involves visiting and volunteering at numerous
projects through South Africa, and documenting their work.
We organised a Meerkat Adventure Tour for them, and advised them to
travel over the stunning Swarberg Pass, both activities they thoroughly
enjoyed. After going down to the Garden Route, the two are riding back
into the Karoo, stopping off at Baviaanskloof and Steytlerville, before
heading to Addo Elephant Park and the rest of the Eastern Cape.
