Attractions

Klipplaatsdrift Safari Lodge is located on a private conservancy. The conservancy currently consists of 5800 hectares consisting of numerous individual farms thereby providing abundant habitat for the wildlife. The conservancy is also located in the malaria-free Eastern Cape which is also a relatively disease-free area since it is based in the hardy Karoo. It is also an interesting fact that the Vlekpoort River that runs past the lodge derived its name many years ago when at last light, antelope placed on the ground and hung on the bushes could be seen shining in the flats from the Bamboes Mountain Range at last light. The antelope skins reflecting the last rays of sunlight were said to look like "Vlekke" and hence the name Vlekpoort River.

We at Klipplaatsdrift farm predominantly with Merino sheep, and Brangus cattle and we have over 20 species of antelope on the conservancy including animals such as Cape buffalo, Sable antelope, Golden wildebeest, eland, Copper springbuck, lechwe along with numerous other species of plains game.
