Ubuntu House
Ubuntu House, a merciful NPO in the Western Cape has cared for more than 470 unwanted babies since it was first established in September 2003. These children have all been given up by their mothers, saved from abortions or simply discarded. This remarkable safety/halfway house has ensured that almost 80% of these babies have found permanent parents and that almost 20% of them have been re-united with their biological families before the age of 5 months. Ubuntu is a part of the greater uMephi Project which has 18 such baby halfway houses under its wing. It also has 20 satellite houses, where older children have a home and a loving family to nurture and equip them for life. uMephi also has a number of hospices, where the sick and dying are cared for.

Sunland Bar in a 6?000-Year-Old Baobab Tree
Sunland Baobab tree in Modjadjiskloof, Limpopo Province, is world-renowned for its extraordinary proportions. But what really makes it truly unique is the fact that visitors to the 6?000-year-old tree can grab a drink at a bar located in the hollow of the trunk. The Sunland Baobab Pub took residence inside the tree in 1933, and today it can still comfortably serve 15 lucky patrons. Visit here.
