Hellspoort Valley. One of the original hunting farms in the Albany District situated 25km from Grahamstown on the R350 between Bedford and Grahamstown, this 2419 hectare game farm is game fenced into two sections, the smaller portion having a common boundary with the Great Fish River consisting of typical Fish River bushveld that is highly attractive to Eastern Cape Game.
