The Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds (SANCCOB) is thrilled to announce the opening of The Coffee Fountain, a brand-new coffee shop situated in SANCCOB’s beautiful new Visitor Centre in Table View. Overlooking the scenic Rietvlei Nature Reserve and offering expansive views of the Table Mountain.
SANCCOB’s Visitor Centre offers an educational, immersive experience aimed at raising awareness about the critically endangered African penguin and other seabird species, many of which are also endangered and in urgent need of public support. With informative exhibits and displays, and daily tours, the centre offers something for everyone, whether you’re an avid nature lover, a curious learner, or simply looking to entertain visitors with a meaningful and memorable experience.
Visitors can also participate in guided tours of the seabird hospital, where they can observe these fascinating seabirds up close, learn about the organization’s conservation efforts, and even witness the charming penguin waddle. There is also a beautiful curio shop, filled with wonderful gifts for all ages, just in time for the festive season.
