Durbanville Wine Safari launching soon!
#Mothercitymoments
🍇🍷When exploring the stunning city of Cape Town, visitors will find themselves with plenty of options for activities, with the breathtaking Cape Winelands being a standout choice.
🍇🍷Traditionally, many tourists gravitate towards the renowned vineyards in Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, and Paarl, all of which are about an hour's drive from Cape Town.
🍇🍷However, locals will tell you that there are also remarkable wine estates much closer to the city, particularly in the charming area of Durbanville. We are excited to announce the launch of the brand new Durbanville Wine Safari set to debut on Friday, October 11, 2024.
🍇🍷This innovative hop-on-hop-off service will take guests on a tour of some of the region’s most celebrated wine farms. There will be a Northern and a Southern line to choose from with each line visiting no less than 6 glorious vineyards.
🍇🍷Ticket price: R300 per person. Please note that this fee does not cover wine tastings or special activities at the various estates.
🍇🍷The service operates from Tuesday to Sunday, between 9:30 AM and 5:30 PM.

🦏WORLD RHINO DAY .... is celebrated on September 22, to raise awareness for rhino conservation, especially for the Black and White rhinos in Africa threatened by poaching and habitat loss. Rhinos play a crucial role in their ecosystems by maintaining vegetation and promoting biodiversity.
🦏The day highlights the ecological, cultural, and economic value of rhinos, vital for wildlife tourism in many African countries. Conservation efforts not only protect these animals but also support local communities and aim to debunk myths that drive demand for rhino horn, reducing poaching incentives. The horn is essential for their survival, aiding in foraging, digging for water, and self-defense.
🦏With declining rhino populations, initiatives are critical. World Rhino Day calls for action from governments, NGOs, and communities to combat poaching and promote education for future conservation, underscoring the urgent need to protect rhinos from illegal horn trade threats.
" No one in the world needs a rhino horn, but a rhino"
