Eastern Cape
The beauty of the Eastern Cape has been rather ignored by the international visitor but offers some of the most unspoilt landscape in South Africa. This is excellent hiking country, rich in birdlife, or simply a place to find tranquillity and relaxation.Historically, too, the province is full of significance – from the long running aggression between the Xhosa people and British Settlers to the forcible creation of the Transkei and Ciskei ‘Homelands’ where the ANC built much of its powerbase.

Game Reserves
North of Port Elizabeth, you will find a number of worthy reserves as the scenery becomes more African, more bush. The Addo Elephant Park sustains the descendants of the great herds that used to roam the Eastern Cape before it was decimated by the hunter.Nearby are the adjacent Big Five reserves at Shamwari and Amakhala providing a wide range of accommodation with excellent game drives. A little further are the scenic reserves at Pumba, Kichaka and Kariega - again with good game viewing and accommodation.
