The Tsitsikama Coastal National Park, Republic of South Africa, is situated between 23 30'E and 24 15'E and along the 34 02'S latitude whereas the Tsitsikama Forest National Park is a small indigenous forest (478 ha) situated approximately 8 km to the north of the Coastal Park. Geologically the area is dominated by the Table Mountain Series (Toerien 1976) and the soils, particularly those of the forest are usually very acid.
