As an organization that showcases the beauty of this region, it was vital to our integrity as a Southern African Tour Operator to give back to the communities, the environment and the spirits of the people and places that make this a top holiday destination. Our social initiative has grown roots in a variety of regions, and has cultivated itself across a diverse range of issues. We’re especially proud of programs and partnerships we’ve been able to create between those that need it most, ourselves, and our clients. We take the utmost pride in combining the uplifting and inspiring elements of the tourism industry with a cultural experience that not only informs visitors about the reality of South African lifestyle, but also allows them to interact in a beneficial and lasting way.
Some of the partnerships we love to brag about:

Built just outside of Kruger
National Park, this school
was initially no more than
a minimal number of crude

mud-walled huts that catered to a mere 20 students. Now with the help of the contributions of our clients, we’ve helped construct proper facilities that include classrooms, a kitchen and even a jungle gym for the playground. The number of children attending the school has risen to 250, and still continues to grow with all donors continued efforts and co-ordination.

At 58 years old "Mama
Rosey" Maloka is the "honor-
ary" Social Services Depart-
ment of the informal settlement

of Phillipi. As part of her long list of social enterprise she feeds the 3-7th graders who receive no free lunch from the government funded school, and who can’t afford to buy one. Grosvenor Tours in partnership with Edward Jones Investments (USA) erected two food tents at the Bongolethu Primary School to assist Mama Rosey in her noble efforts – and to create something sustainable the community could inherit as their own. At the end of the day, Phillipi was the proud beneficiary of two fully functioning protected gardens, as well as numerous books, stationary, pens, pencils and a variety of school supplies that the Edward Jones volunteers had felt compelled to donate. Not to mention, a learning environment that can birth great future accomplishment was born and given the means to survive.

Charity Wines is a Trust
program that uses proceeds
from the purchase of wines
donated by local leading

wine producers to invest into organizations that cater for the needs of Severe Learning Disability and Foetal Alcohol Syndrome related issues. Currently, each month more than 30 renowned wine farms donate their product to the trust. These wines are then packaged into a Mystery Box and sold for a mere R250. In only its first year of operation Charity Wines has already been able to donate funds, furniture and equipment to seven different beneficiaries in the winelands area. Grosvenor Tours is proud to promote such a brilliant development program hand in hand with the "intoxicating" excitement and beauty of daily Wineland Tours.
