For over 30 years, Dreamcatcher has been breaking cycles of poverty and reshaping what sustainable development looks like. Born in South Africa’s townships in the early 1990s, our story began with a simple ethos: actions speak louder than words.

From day one, our founder Anthea and local communities worked hand-in-hand to tackle the barriers holding people back — lack of education, unemployment, gender inequality, poor environmental conditions — and to transform them into opportunities. The answer? Fresh, inclusive, and integrated models where people, planet, and purpose come together. Following an inclusive human-centred holistic approach, we engage with all ages and demographic groups in communities where we work – with a special focus on women, youth and vulnerable people. 

Today, Dreamcatcher is recognised worldwide as pioneers and experts in sustainability. Our inclusive models empower community-based enterprise, responsible destination -and tourism development, environmental protection with a focus on waste and biodiversity, literacy, training and life skills purposed to employability, developing safe spaces and community-wellness initiatives. Go Truly Local™ with us on your next travels to discover a South Africa you never knew existed. 

Our award-winning models are living proof that sustainable change isn’t just possible — it’s powerful. Visitors, local enterprises, and communities who work with us don’t just “talk sustainability”— they live it. Together, we’re making Nelson Mandela’s dream of a better future for all South Africans a reality, while contributing tangibly to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Dreamcatcher South Africa NPC consistently is awarded a 100% recognition score for all 5 pillars of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment.
