Nestled in the scenic landscape of Stanford, on the edge of the protected Walker Bay Conservancy, Perivoli Lagoon House offers more than just a tranquil retreat. It serves as a vital hub for fostering positive change across the African continent. This unique villa operates on a powerful principle: that experiencing the beauty of South Africa can directly contribute to it and the wider continent. By channelling all its surplus profits into meaningful charitable endeavours, Perivoli Lagoon House embodies a commitment to a brighter future for Africa’s communities and its natural heritage.

At the heart of this commitment lies a deep understanding of the transformative power of education. Recognising this, a significant portion of the resources generated by Perivoli Lagoon House directly supports the Perivoli Schools Trust. This trust champions the cause of early childhood education across sub-Saharan Africa, understanding that the foundation laid in a child’s early years is crucial for long-term sustainable development. The Trust provides essential resources, comprehensive training programs, and ongoing support to educators, empowering them to create enriching and effective learning environments. This focus aims to equip young children with the foundational skills and knowledge they need to thrive, ultimately contributing to more prosperous and resilient communities.

The impact of Perivoli Lagoon House extends even further through the broader Perivoli Foundation. This organisation spearheads a diverse range of initiatives designed to address some of Africa’s most pressing challenges. The Foundation’s work encompasses several key areas:

• Addressing Climate Change: Through the Perivoli Climate Trust, resources are directed towards projects aimed at mitigating the effects of climate change and promoting sustainable environmental practices across the continent. This reflects a commitment to preserving Africa’s rich natural heritage for future generations.
  
• Empowering Through Education: Building on the work of the Schools Trust, the Foundation continues to prioritise educational initiatives that foster learning and development at various levels within communities.
  
• Fostering Innovation: The Perivoli Innovations arm supports creative and practical solutions to local challenges, recognising the importance of ingenuity in driving progress and sustainability.
  
• Supporting Informed Action: The Perivoli Africa Research Centre plays a crucial role in supporting research that informs effective conservation strategies and empowers local communities with knowledge. By grounding action in evidence-based understanding, the Foundation aims to create lasting and meaningful impact.\

The dedication of Perivoli Lagoon House to these charitable endeavours underscores a profound belief in the interconnectedness of tourism, conservation, and community development. It demonstrates that a hospitality experience can be a powerful catalyst for positive change, allowing guests to enjoy the beauty of their surroundings while simultaneously contributing to a larger purpose. 

By choosing to stay at Perivoli Lagoon House, visitors become part of a story where the tranquillity of a South African retreat directly fuels initiatives that empower communities, protect the environment, and cultivate a more promising future for the African continent. This is more than just a luxurious getaway; it’s an opportunity to participate in a vision where hospitality and philanthropy seamlessly converge to create a lasting impact.
