Mpofu is situated near the secret site of Chief Maqoma’s Kraal. Its steep terrain and varied rainfall
supports a remarkable variety of animal and plant communities. The African savannah blurs into the extensive
tracts of rare indigenous forest. On the slopes of the Amathole Mountains 7500ha in extent,
it rests between Fort Beaufort, Post Retief & Balfour. It offers excellent opportunities
to see a rich diversity of game such as large breeding herds of Cape Buffalo,
Burchell’s Zebra, Eland, Giraffe and White Rhino. Africa’s great cats follow
silently in their tracks. Self-drive or allow us to arrange an
unforgettable day or night game drive in a customised vehicle.
WAYLANDS achieved National Heritage Site status for various
important reasons and boasts a unique colony of rare
Mountain Bamboo ( Tesselatus family ), and some of
the most easterly species of the fynbos biome.
We are proud of our growing herd of indigenous
Nguni Cattle and our own populations of
Mountain Reedbuck, Kudu, Duiker,
Grysbok, Lynx, Black Eagles
and the elusive Aardvark.
