Eastern Cape

The Eastern Cape of South Africa is one of the most interesting places on Earth. With five distinct biogeographical regions, its natural beauty is truly a sight to behold. From the plains of Camdeboo in the semi-desert region of the Great Karoo to the lush forests and pristine beaches of the Garden Route, there is a wide variety of offerings to the traveler seeking to explore South Africa.

Wildlife lovers will not be disappointed with offerings of magnificent plains game in the Karoo and the elephants of Gorah. Walk along the beaches of the region and discover the rare Oystercatcher bird, explore caves inhabited by early man, and view the annual migration of the southern right whale, a spectacle that is not to be missed as mothers birth their calves and care for them among the craggy shores of the coastline.

Historically, this region is the birthplace and home of South Africa’s brightest son, Nelson Mandela. The infrastructure of the region is modern with major airports in Port Elizabeth for easy access to both Cape Town and Johannesburg.
