Property description
The "Game Farm" is situated between Grahamstown and Bathurst and ± 35 km from Port Alfred.
The Farm is bordered by the Fish River (4.5km river frontage) as well as the smaller Coombs and Kap Rivers. Fully game fenced into two portions (783ha and 4789ha), total 5572ha. Vegetation; Albany Sub-tropical Bushveld, with portions of grassland on the mountain ridges. The mass of indigenous mammals occurring in the Valley thicket (especially spekboom) exceeds that of even the most productive of Africa’s tropical savannas. This feature is a consequence of the thicket’s unusually high mass of accessible and palatable browse, which in turn is fostered by its organically enriched micro-environment. Euphorbias, Milkwood, coral trees, date palms, tar wood, chestnut, yellow wood, acacias and wild fig trees etc. as well as cycads and a large variety of Eastern Cape herbs, aloes and wild flowers are in abundance – therefore aptly named by environmentalists as “East of Eden.” Mountains and gorges with very beautiful views which can be accessed through a network of roads that spread across the farm.

Rainfall: A remarkable feature of thicket’s mammal fauna is that such an extraordinary high diversity of species and animal bulk can be supported at the fairly low rainfall average of ±550mm/year.
