Why Book a Community Tour?


A Community Tour with Eco Children is more than just a visit. It’s an opportunity to:



  • Experience authentic South African communities in a respectful and meaningful way.
  • Learn about our education and conservation projects from passionate staff.
  • Engage with children through games and activities.
  • Support a cause that invests in the next generation of environmental stewards.


Whether you’re a local visitor, a lodge guest, or part of a corporate or school group, your presence helps fuel our mission.

What to Expect on Your Tour


🌱 Eco Village Tour

Our Eco Villages are living, breathing classrooms. These sustainable spaces are integrated into our partner schools, where Grade 6 and 7 learners grow fresh vegetables for their school kitchens while learning about sustainable living, water conservation, and ecology. On the tour, you’ll walk through vibrant garden beds, explore our compost and worm farm systems, and attend a mini-lesson with one of our Environmental Educators.


🎲 Interactive Games with Learners

Enjoy time with our youngest learners through play-based activities like skipping, beading, tracing, and throwing games. These simple but powerful interactions help develop fine and gross motor skills while building confidence and connection. Your participation encourages learners to engage, laugh, and explore the joy of learning.

Giving Back – Your Contribution, Your Choice


Each visitor contributes R750 (or R650 per person for groups of five or more), and you get to decide where your donation goes.

 

Choose from our impact-driven initiatives:
  • Kit-a-Kid: Equip a child with a full school uniform and dignity.
  • Bursaries: Help promising students continue their education beyond primary school.
  • Infrastructure: Help create safe, inspiring learning environments.
  • Merry Moments: Sponsor joyful experiences like educational outings and fun days.
The Power of Conscious Travel

In a world where tourism can sometimes overlook the communities it surrounds, we offer a different path—a chance to travel consciously. Every Community Tour is an invitation to listen, learn, and contribute. It’s about building bridges between people and creating shared stories of hope, growth, and transformation.

Whether you’re a solo traveller, a family, a safari lodge guest, or a local resident, this experience will leave a lasting impression on your heart.
