Travel Advice & Information
Eastern Cape holidays are the perfect extension to any Garden Route tour. If you’ve got some time to explore, you’ll discover that there’s a lot to love about this off-the-beaten-track region. The coastal city of Port Elizabeth makes a great base with its beautiful parks, botanical gardens and nature reserves, as well as a scattering of restaurants, theatres, and museums. From here, trips can be made to Tsitsikamma National Park - a hiking and water sports paradise - and Addo Elephant National Park, the largest game reserve in the southern half of the country.
With a wild coastline known for its excellent surfing, sailing and diving conditions, Eastern Cape holidays are perfect for water sports enthusiasts. And with sunshine all year round, the beaches are popular with sun worshippers too. For families, the coastal cities of Port Elizabeth and East London are ideal, with a welcoming and friendly atmosphere and convenient access to areas of exceptional natural beauty. Safari lovers are well catered for too, with Big Five game watching opportunities and a handful of luxury lodges and camps.
With quality accommodation, no risk of malaria and excellent game viewing – including the Big Five and wild dogs, which are making a welcome return – Eastern Cape safaris are becoming increasingly popular.
Jeffrey’s Bay – or J Bay – is among the world’s top surfing spots, attracting surfers from all over the world with its impressive and consistent waves. For the real enthusiasts, check out the break at Super Tubes which is east of the main beach.
