The Karkloof Conservancy is a community-led conservation organisation in the Karkloof, made up of local farmers, foresters and landowners committed to protecting the area’s biodiversity. Through the Karkloof Conservation Centre, it promotes conservation alongside agriculture and tourism, recognising how productive farming can coexist with the preservation of natural habitats and wildlife. Its work aims to safeguard the region’s rich biodiversity for future generations.

The organisation shares information about local wildlife and scenery and encourages visitors to experience the Karkloof’s natural environment. Its visitor activities and resources include the Karkloof River Walk, walking information, wildlife and scenery galleries, and updates on events such as year-end walks. The site also highlights open wildlife hides and forest activities, including ziplining. For younger community members, the KRANES Karkloof Kids Club offers a conservation-focused programme.

People can support the Conservancy’s efforts through its membership, support and sponsorship options. The organisation also provides conservation news, useful information and contact details for those interested in learning more or getting involved.
