Who says luxury and sustainablity can't go hand in hand? In this episode of ExtraVirgin, Natascha visits the private eco-reserve of Grootbos in South Africa.
Almost at the southern tip of Africa tucked between mountains and forest, Grootbos is the most diverse and smallest of the world's six floral kingdoms. Among the 700-plus species found on the reserve, over 400 are on the red data list as threatened, 6 were completely new to science and 4 of these are only known to be found here.
In this episode of ExtraVirgin, Natascha talks to Grootbos operations manager Clayton Niemand about how the lodge goes about protecting this unique region and putting their serious committment to sustainabiltiy into practice on a day to day basis, while still giving international guests an unforgettable 5-star experience.
If South Africa is on your travel radar, then have a listen - we're sure to want to add Grootbos as a must - visit destination afterwards.
