The Eastern Cape is a place of endless horizons.
Its unforgettable wilderness, spectacular waterways and glistening
sand dunes make it a country where one wishes time would stand still.
 It has an unusual natural diversity, ranging from the craggy
Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area, to the lush, evergreen Tsitsikamma
Forest. It borders the southern slopes of the Drakensberg and the
barren plains of the Great Karoo. It is a land of rolling hills,
endless expanses of rocky coves and sandy beaches, towering mountain
ranges and glistening forests.
 The Eastern Cape’s coastline is simply astonishing and a veritable
paradise for surfers, water sports enthusiasts and anglers. Whether
you’re in the mood for a relaxing seaside escape, an encounter with
the Big Five on safari, or a choice of scintillating city diversions
and rich natural tourist attractions, you will find your perfect
holiday in the Eastern Cape.
 The Eastern Cape’s coastal
area lies within the sub-tropical climate of the Western Cape. Its
inland section is bisected by the Great Escarpment, resulting in the
southern reaches defined by a series of rivers and associated wetland
fauna and flora. The Eastern Cape’s northern areas consist of the
altitudinous plains of the Plateau and the arid solitude of the Great Karoo. |
