COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS
Community volunteers play a vital role throughout the Benguela Collection. By engaging local communities in our hospitality and tourism opportunities, natural habitats and ecosystems, we can harness the traditional knowledge and deep connection to their environment.
Our approach is to recognise local people not only as stakeholders but also key actors in various conservation, community service and skills development initiatives. This allows us to do more for the preservation of these places for future generations to enjoy. People can also develop skills and gain work experience that enhances their lives and potential.

Benguela Collection Hospitality Exchange Program; Promoting Excellence across Continents
At our core, we are dedicated to promoting social upliftment within the tourism industry. To achieve this goal, we take immense pride in extending a distinctive opportunity to our dedicated kitchen staff and wine ambassadors.
Benguela Cove Wine Estate offers them the privilege to exhibit their culinary talents and hospitality skills while gaining invaluable experience at our Michelin-starred restaurant situated within our sister property in the United Kingdom. This initiative not only elevates their expertise and career prospects but also fosters cross-cultural exchange and fosters growth within our organization.
