Cultural & Historical interest   
Some five generations ago, our families settled in the Eastern Cape to farm sheep and cattle on the wild and often hostile frontier of the Zuurveld. Today we still live here, in historic and hospitable Frontier Country, re-creating a wildlife experience which will capture your imagination, refresh your soul and conserve our natural heritage. Our hills tell silently of old conflicts and the bush holds its secrets, but now the haunting cry of the fish eagle echoes from the rugged krantzes and the veld grass whispers with the passing of peaceful game, where you too can turn to nature.
