Being Nature Connected is the idea that we are human beings, consciousness and awareness, God gave us freewill to choose how to live our lives and this is a place where people can come together and be guardian for nature, serve nature and giveback to the earth because we need it to live, it is a circle and it is all connected.
Vision
A South Africa where tourism benefits the bottom just as much as it benefits the top. Making opportunities available for people around Kruger and other Game reserves in South Africa so they build something of their own and empower the people around them. Being Nature connected will help to build schools based in a community centre that will give people the access to computer, workshops, and a education in sales and social media to grow their business and educate others around the world.
