Butterflies for Africa has been developed to combine the best elements of top butterfly houses from around the world with some unique features of its own. The complex currently houses a walk-through Butterfly House (housing both exotic and indigenous butterflies), Butterfly Craft Shop, Art Gallery, Coffee Bar, African Art & Craft Centre, Butterfly Nursery and a Butterfly Garden planted with a large range of butterfly foodplants.
Please note, we do not cater for butterfly releases at weddings. This is a controversial issue and we at Butterflies for Africa are opposed to this practice. If you are wanting a butterfly theme why not use artificial butterflies instead?
