WHEN YOU TRAVEL WITH US - YOU WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE

R300 PER PERSON WILL BE DONATED TO SANCCOB

African Penguins are facing a race against time. Their population has collapsed by an alarming 99%, leaving fewer than 9,000 breeding pairs in the wild. Now classified as Critically Endangered, these iconic seabirds could disappear from our shores by 2035. Food shortages, climate change, predation, oil pollution and underwater noise are pushing them closer to extinction—and their struggle reflects the growing crisis in our oceans.

You ARE NOW part of the solution.

SANCCOB rescues, rehabilitates and releases hundreds of seabirds every year, giving injured, oiled and abandoned African Penguins a second chance at life in the wild. This vital work is only possible through public support.

By joining SANCCOB’s Adopt a Penguin Campaign, you make a direct and meaningful impact. For just R300, your symbolic adoption helps fund lifesaving veterinary care, specialised nutrition and rehabilitation for an African Penguin currently in care. Your support ensures that these birds are not only saved, but successfully returned to the ocean where they belong.

As an adoptee, you can name your penguin, (PLEASE SEND YOUR PENGUINS NAME TO US UPON CONFIRMING YOUR BOOKING) and receive a personalised certificate which you can collect at the congress.

Every action counts. Every penguin matters. Stand with SANCCOB today and help protect Africa’s only penguin species while safeguarding the health of our oceans for future generations.
