In 1903 a sanctuary was established in this area to protect some of the last surviving eland in South Africa. They now number around 1,500 – one of the largest populations in the country.

A camouflaged hide allows visitors to view endangered bearded vultures, an estimated 200 pairs of which are found here.

Accommodation is in comfortable bungalows and small cottages. The main camp overlooks the Bushman’s River, with Giant’s Castle dominating the skyline. A number of trails lead off from the camp and a short walk brings visitors to a cave where 500 San Bushman rock paintings, some of which are 800 years old, can be seen.
