In a letter written by Chief Seattle to Abraham Lincoln, he said, ‘man without the beast is man without soul’. The Nature Workshop in conjunction with a variety of eco destinations in southern Africa has undertaken to ensure the preservation and conservation of our natural heritage and that of humankind through a process of responsible environmental and conservation management. It is the belief of The Nature Workshop that the future of some of the most spectacular regions of Southern Africa can only be preserved through a combination of tourism, conservation and the communities that surround these regions.

Southern Africa offers the greatest diversity of eco-experiences one can imagine. From the Cape of Good Hope to the oldest desert in the world, the wetlands of the Okavango, the might of the Zambezi, the pans of Etosha and Makgadikgadi, the tropical islands off Mozambique and the game reserves of southern Africa. In each environment so diversely different we encounter the real Africa, its people, its culture, and the wildlife of some of the few remaining wilderness areas of the world.

The Nature Workshop offers you a variety of lodges across southern and east Africa and the Indian Ocean Islands from which you may plan your vacation. Each lodge offers a specific and unique experience, each chosen for the quality of the experience, each with their own character and identity, and offering good value for money.
