QUAGGAFONTEIN - TANKWA KAROO

A COMMUNAL EFFORT AND CELEBRATION OF QUAGGAFONTEIN

A series of events hosted at Quaggafontein – building, dreaming, discovering and dancing on our new home.

Come and discover Quaggafontein and help to lay the foundations for our holistic land stewardship project into the future. Get involved in five fun-filled days of ecosystem restoration, have a jol, and be part of something on Quaggafontein that will make a positive long term difference.

a unique eco Experience

On the last ‘Trip, we went beyond the homestead area into the surrounding veld and implemented various rehabilitation techniques with the soil and vegetation, while also continuing to work on our food garden and permaculture initiatives.

The daytime programme included immersive nature experiences, skill-sharing workshops and talks on relevant topics e.g. heritage, ecology and regenerative living. Evening festivities were self-managed plug and perform shows, celebrating music, creativity and self-expression. Not forgetting our roots, we also had a small burn on the Saturday night, built as a group.

An Afrikaburn event

On the art front, there’s always opportunities to create on the Quaggafontein and Vaalfontein farms. Whatever your idea, and whatever your dream, we’re here to help you realise it – long-term, short-term, burning or building.

Do you have knowledge or skills you can share? Are you keen to facilitate an activity at the next EcoTrip? Music? Performance? Art? Let us know how you want to be involved, and contact us via ecotrip@afrikaburn.com
