Kei Mouth · Eastern Cape · Wild Coast
African field learning, grounded in place
Chrysalis Training creates mentored nature, conservation and field-learning experiences from the Wild Coast of South Africa.
A Wild Coast base
Learn through coastal, estuarine and terrestrial encounters
From Kei Mouth, learners engage with the living systems of the Eastern Cape coast. Practical terrestrial activities are supported through Chrysalis’ partnership with Endalweni Game Reserve, creating a meaningful connection between Wild Coast ecology and inland landscapes.
Africa Research Experiences
Field-based learning designed for groups seeking a thoughtful, well-supported African research and ecology experience.
Mentored programmes
Short courses and learning pathways for nature enthusiasts and emerging field guides who want depth, context and practical application.
The Naturalist’s Notebook
Observations, stories and learning resources that keep the field conversation active beyond an individual experience.
Scientific and conservation connections
Guided by ecological knowledge and local conservation work
Dr Deborah Robertson-Andersson serves as Chrysalis’ Scientific Advisor. Her conservation work with WESSA Green Coast in Kei Mouth and her talks around South Africa on the Southern African Humpback Whale migration route bring valuable scientific perspective to the Chrysalis learning community.
