Spekboom: Regenerative Travel & Eco-Stays in Africa

There is a plant in the Eastern Cape that does something almost no other plant can do. Push a single cutting of spekboom into broken ground, ground that has been grazed bare, burnt out, given up on, and it roots. It spreads.

It pulls carbon from the air and moisture back into the soil, and slowly, without ceremony, the land begins to live again. It does not need rich earth. It needs only somewhere to begin.
