GREAT FISH RIVER, EASTERN CAPE

The Great Fish River in the Eastern Cape is a river of great historical significance, as it was a hotly contested border during the Frontier Wars of 1779-1878 between the Settlers (and the Dutch farmers) and the Xhosa nation. The Great Fish river has created a flourishing habitat for rare and endangered species like the Blue Crane.


ABOUT GREAT FISH RIVER


Great Fish River

The Great Fish River meanders through the Great Fish River Reserve which is situated between Grahamstown and Fort Beaufort. The Great Fish Reserve comprises 45 000ha and includes the Andries Vosloo, the Double Drift and the Sam Knott nature reserves.

The river’s flora is interesting and diverse with riverine thicket forming a narrow band along the River and Cape bushwillow, karee and sweet thorn being the dominant trees. Grassy dwarf-shrubland is an open habitat of sparse tussock grasses and stunted shrubs. The level of the Great Fish River fluctuates markedly, such that broad sand bars are often exposed or completely covered.

Whilst visiting the Eastern Cape, be sure to explore all the province has to offer; laze on one of the many beaches along the Sunshine Coast, hike the untamed Wild Coast, or go on a malaria-free African safari in Frontier Country.
