While our core business remains growing, processing and distributing tea, Magwa Tea Estate has an attractive ecotourism package that includes horse riding through the tea plantations and around the forests on our estates.
Being a short drive from the Eastern Cape’s coastal town of Port St Johns – the “tourism jewel” of the country – we cater for holiday makers seeking to enjoy the natural environment without damaging it or disturbing habitats. The strategy for Magwa Tea Estate Eco-tourism involves managed visits to fragile, pristine, and relatively undisturbed natural areas. Our focus is different from mass-tourist strategies; we offer a niche, low-impact and intimate package for families and groups.
We see eco-tourism as a growth opportunity for Magwa Tea Estates as local and international travellers appreciate the need for responsible travel to natural areas that conserve the environment and sustain the well-being of the local people. Ecotourism is about uniting conservation, communities, and sustainable travel. Magwa Tea Estates adopts the following ecotourism principles:
- Minimum physical, social, behavioural, and psychological impacts
- Environmental and cultural awareness and respect
- Provide positive experiences for both visitors and hosts
- Provide direct financial benefits for conservation
- Generate benefits for all parties
