Dainfern Golf Day 2025

As ardent lovers of sport and the great outdoors, South Africans are often spotted supporting worthy causes through their participation in sporting days. As part of the EWTs fundraising efforts, we are touring our beautiful and naturally diverse country to host four golf days in the coming months. The fourth and final event for the year, will be held at Dainfern Golf Club on the 23rd of October 2025, proudly sponsored by AlexForbes. This is an ideal opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, enjoy playing a few strokes and to support a great cause – the work of the Endangered Wildlife Trust. We still have a few fourballs spots available and there are loads of incredible prizes and goodies for golfers hitting the greens in support of conservation.

Four-ball cost: R6 000 (includes halfway house, dinner and 2x golf carts)
RSVP: To secure your spot, please contact Tammy Baker at Endangered Wildlife Trust via email at tammyb@ewt.org or by phone on 082 903 2152.

Don’t miss out on the chance to enjoy a day of golf while supporting a great cause.

Creating serendipity – Exploring the future of conservation in a rapidly changing world

The EWT is celebrating its 50th anniversary as one of South Africa’s leading conservation NGOs and as part of the celebration, we are hosting a day of inspirational and forward-thinking discussions to spark creative ideas about the future of conservation in Africa. We have a line-up of thought-provoking presenters and panelists from a multitude of traditionally non-conservation sectors, to stimulate debate and leverage creative thinking within the conservation realm. We aim to open the minds and challenge the mindsets of conservationists attending the event and to unlock partnership opportunities to catapult us into the next era of conservation practice.

Conservationists recognise the influence of all sectors as drivers impacting the natural world. As such, we will be exploring the knowledge and experience of experts across various sectors including economics, agriculture, mining, sustainability, information technology, artificial intelligence, and innovation through the eyes of specialists and futurists. Through this assembled expertise and via facilitated discussions, we will distil a new way of thinking about the future for the strategic conservation of our wildlife and wild places over the next few decades, in a rapidly changing world.

Join us for an exploration of the possibilities, opportunities & synergies in the next era of conservation practice.
