Every year the festival offers something different and special, built around nature as Kirkwood is the Wildlife Capital of South Africa. There is no other festival in the country which combines all aspects of wildlife and eco-tourism with top-class entertainment as the Absa Kirkwood Wildsfees in the heart of the Sundaysriver Valley.

Deep within the shadows of the dense valley bushveld of the Sundays River region of the Eastern Cape lies the Addo Elephant National Park.
