In the foothills of the Zuurberg Mountains, bang in the middle of game reserve country, lies Zoetvlei Wildlife Estate.

Just under an hour's drive from the beautiful beaches of the Sunshine Coast and Gqeberha, this part of the world is popular for those wanting a true taste of the ‘bushveld' without the fear of malaria or having to drive thousands of kilometres to experience bushveld country.

Valley bushveld (thicket) is endemic to this part of the world, which supports a larger number of fauna and flora, insects, birds, and animals than any other on earth, so it's little surprise that the area is given over to so many private game reserves, all of which offer one a chance to experience the beauty of the Greater Addo.
