Preserving our Natural Heritage



We inhabit our planet Earth, which holds in its orbit all of nature. As humans, we have a particular responsibility to care for our beautiful Earth, which sustains all life and its future.

Discover Kenton-on-Sea and Boesmansriviermond

Combine two amazing estuaries, with two Blue Flag beaches, two leading big game reserves, and two eco-living estates. Voted the best small town in South Africa, Kenton-on-Sea boasts many kilometers of unspoilt beaches with only sea, sand, and bush in sight, accompanied by birds and game. On the Bushmans Estuary side is the beautiful town of Boesmansriviermond, known for its endless sandy beaches and dunes.

The Kariega Estuary on one side of Kenton-on-Sea and the Bushmans Estuary on the other, offers a free boat ride up more than 30 km of estuary, where you can catch a kob or grunter and observe Nyala, Bushbuck, Giraffe, Elephant, Rhino, and maybe even a lion on the banks.

Our Mission



Our role at Estuary Care is to manage and enhance this precious asset, ensuring it can be enjoyed now and preserved for future generations.
