Bigger, better and wilder entertainment awaits this June, when the eighth annual Absa Kirkwood Wildlife Festival is held in the Eastern Cape.

This year, organisers are promising an even wilder celebrity line-up including the Bala Brothers, Mean Mr Mustard and the ever-popular Steve Hofmeyr.

Over 35 000 visitors attended the 2008 event, which is a unique blend of wildlife, arts, crafts and live entertainment. In addition to wall to wall entertainment on the stage, there will be hundreds of creative flea-market stalls and delicious food stalls with a wildlife theme.

The festival, which runs from 26 to 29 June, also hosts the second biggest game auction in South Africa. So bring your friends to Kirkwood in June and have a "jol" at the wildest festival in the country! The latest information is available at www.wildsfees.co.za.
