The Whale Trail is named after the more than a hundred southern right whales that return to the waters of De Hoop Nature Reserve every year to calve and mate.

CapeNature is driven by the vision to establish a successful conservation economy which is embraced by all citizens of the Western Cape, and to transform biodiversity conservation into a key component of local economic development in the province.

“Our own definition of a conservation economy is an economy in which key principles and practices of biodiversity conservation have been fully integrated into all forms and levels of economic activity. We achieve this objective through various programmes and projects,” says Sheraaz Ismail, executive director: business development.

The Z-CARD® provides hikers with a map of the trail and interesting information about the area, as well as a detailed day by day account of the hike. They are distributed to hikers when they book for the trail.

“We have used the Z-CARD® for a number of years as it enables us to provide a user friendly map for the hikers which is light to carry and easy to keep on them during the hike. They can then keep it as a souvenir after completing the hike,” says De Hoop Nature Reserve’s Lamla Yaso.
