Discover a peaceful oasis with a purpose at The Coffee Fountain, where you can indulge in a coffee break that helps make a difference in the lives of South African seabirds.
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 organisation’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.
Visitor Centre tours
Tours are conducted daily at SANCCOB’s centres, and for an optimal experience, visitor groups are limited to ten people per group.
Bookings are essential to guarantee your tour spot, and walk-ins will only be accommodated if space is available.
SANCCOB is open from 8am to 5pm daily. If you can’t make it in person, however, the seabird organisation also offers virtual guided tours of the facility so you can support SANCCOB from wherever you are.
You can also explore their online shop and discover ways to get involved.
Whether you go to learn, relax or explore a career in conservation, SANCCOB’s Visitor Centre offers a chance to connect with nature while giving back to it.
