Grietjie is a 2,800 ha game reserve located within the Balule Region of the greater Kruger National park. Balule is a member of the APNR (Associated Private Nature Reserves), which is made up of Balule, Klaserie, Timbavati and Umbabat and which is linked to the Kruger National Park. There are no fences dividing the individual reserves and thus game roam freely between Kruger and Balule, and several other private game reserves.

Grietjie is located on the Northern banks of the Olifants River. The other three neighbouring reserves on the northern bank of the Olifant river include: Olifants North, Parsons and Doreen.

Grietjie is made up of 118 full title portions ranging from 8 ha to 21 ha portions in size.
This Reserve has the potential to accommodate all the different species of game to be found in the Kruger Park.
