SANCCOB Penguin Experience

A private morning with African penguins — an exclusive conservation experience with our flagship charity partner.

ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE

SANCCOB Penguin
Experience

We’ve always had a soft spot for Cape Town’s penguins. Through our partnership with SANCCOB, The President sponsors three very special birds and supports the organisation’s work to protect South Africa’s seabirds.
Pamela, Sylvester and Rocky each have their own story, and their own place within SANCCOB’s care. Get to know them below, then discover more about the important work happening at the rehabilitation centre.

Our Penguins

Meet Pamela, Sylvester and Rocky, three very special penguins sponsored by The President through our partnership with SANCCOB.

Pamela

An African penguin with plenty of personality. Pamela is one of three penguins sponsored by The President through our partnership with SANCCOB. You’ll also find her name on one of our cocktails.

Sylvester

Pamela’s partner and fellow African penguin. Sylvester is also sponsored by The President, making this pair something of a penguin power couple.

Rocky

The odd one out, in the best possible way. Rocky is a rockhopper penguin.
SUPPORT

COCKTAILS FOR A CAUSE

Through our sponsorship of Pamela, Sylvester and Rocky, we support SANCCOB’s work to rescue, rehabilitate and protect seabirds, while helping our guests and team understand a little more about the wildlife on our doorstep.

There’s also a rather enjoyable way to lend a hand. Three cocktails at The President are named after our sponsored penguins, with proceeds helping support SANCCOB’s work. So you can raise a glass to Pamela, order one for Sylvester or make it a Rocky.

Take one home

Meet the snuggliest member of the flock. Our very own President penguin is soft, cuddly and considerably easier to take home than the real thing.
