It is situated high up on the Amatole Mountains of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, and is surrounded by Centuries-old indigenous Afro-Montane Forests. "One's overwhelming sense of Hogsback is the quiet, broken only by the singing of birds or the primeval call of the Knysna Lourie - even the chatter of a troop of Samango Monkeys as they feed and play in the canopies of trees. And when you do hear a motor vehicle you wonder who is coming to visit."
