Sand River Conservancy lies in the foothills of the Bontberg Mountains, about 230 km from Cape Town on the edge of the Tankwa Karoo, with vegetation ranging from mountain grasses to succulents. The land was previously used as winter grazing for sheep but it is now managed as a conservation area, with the aim of rehabilitating the veld where necessary.
