Creative way to celebrate nature in Tsitsikamma
Area Manager of the Tsitsikamma (Garden Route National Park), Lesley-Ann Meyer said “the event was an effort to reach out to various communities .

The morning Programme was dedicated to kiddies events, the midday aspect to sporting activities and the evening one to song and dance. Song and dance proved popular at last year”s SA National Parks Week 2014 as it attracted a large audience of surrounding communities from Coldstream, Covie and other townships.
