Three Tree Hill Stories

This week is dedicated to recognizing and supporting female rangers around the world. These women play a crucial role in protecting endangered species, combating poaching, and promoting environmental sustainability. We are honouring their commitment since it’s not always an easy role. It is a male dominated industry, with tough physical challenges endured during foot patrols and many weeks spent in isolated outposts away from your family.

This solar initiative further enforces our commitment to sustainable and responsible tourism, aligning our performance with Fair Trade Tourism.

On the 22nd May, 2025 the Institute for Catalysis and Energy Solutions (ICES), a research unit at the University of South Africa (UNISA), handed over the completed Biogas Digestor & Water System, to the Sakhile Centre of Learning, situated in the aMazizini area of the uKhahlamba Drakensberg. The project was started in 2015, by Three Tree Hill Foundation and The Legacy of Grace, who eventually handed the reins over to the community and principal, Mrs Mabel Madonsela in 2023, realising her life-long dream of owning her own Early Childhood Development Centre. The final phase of the project was recently completed and to signify this event we gathered all the stakeholders together for a celebration and tour of the facilities.

Three Tree Hill is the first lodge in KwaZulu Natal to be certified VEGAN.

The SA Boerperd is a true South African breed & its lineage can be traced back to 1652.
