Geodesic has worked closely with the African Conservation Trust in establishing the Butterfly Route – a number of butterfly domes across the province which protect and display butterflies indigenous to the region. Visitors are captivated when they enter the striking 20 by 10 metre dome structure and enter the enchanting world of butterflies. Light netting has been placed over the top to allow natural light in, and spray irrigation systems can also been installed along the circumference of the dome.For more information visit www.projectafrica.com and www.butterflyroutes.org.
