Pack for a Purpose
We are proud members of Pack for a Purpose, an international initiative that allows travelers like you to make a lasting impact in the community at your travel destination. Pack for a Purpose assists us to communicate our list of needs for our conservation and community projects.
If you save just a few kilos of space in your suitcase and bring supplies for those in need, you’ll make a priceless impact in the lives of local children, elderly, families, domestic animals and wildlife.
We have a full list of the requirements on the Pack for a Purpose website. These include food, stationery, clothing, first aid, kitchen, sport and office supplies. Every item donated by Kariega guests is hugely appreciated.
