eco-tourism sanctuary near Gansbaai in the Western Cape, conservationism and sustainability are key. It’s set amidst mountains, forest and sea in the Cape Overberg region on 2 500ha of pristine wilderness. The remarkable mix of milkwood forests, marine wildlife and 800 botanical species (six were actually discovered at Grootbos), as well as animal protection, mean a visit is multi- faceted. The lodges themselves are uber- chic – and sustainably thought-through. Grootbos has made a commitment to be single-use plastic-free (including in the kitchens) by 2020 and the property’s research team is involved in various conservation initiatives, including sustainability projects on the reserve, leopard studies and botanical surveys.
