AREA INFORMATION

Temba Private Game Reserve is located 14 km from central Makhanda (Grahamstown) and 120 km from Chief Dawid Stuurman International Airport in the Eastern Cape. The town is best known for the Grahamstown Arts Festival. Venues are set up all across the city and the town becomes a hub of activity from early morning trading of food and crafts to late-night live music concerts and shows. The National Arts Festival offers a wide programme over ten days, with literally hundreds of exhibitions and performances. The Arts Festival has become the premiere showcase for South African visual arts, music, theatre and dance. As much a part of Makhanda as its defining architecture and festival buzz is the campus of Rhodes University. Makhandas architecture features exquisite examples of Victorian, Colonial and Gothic Revivalist building styles.
