There is plenty of game viewing available in the
Eastern Cape. It has the most concentrated elephant reserve in Africa,
in the Addo Elephant National Park that houses a herd of 300
elephants, allowing close quarter viewing. Other parks in the area
include Shamwari Game Reserve, Mountain Zebra Park and Kwandwe reserve
near Grahamstown.
 The Eastern Cape’s 800km of coastline remain wild and untamed, with
some of the country’s most beautiful beaches. During May and November,
whales and their calves can be spotted and common and bottlenose
dolphins often venture close to the shore.
For those who enjoy historical sites, Grahamstown is a university town
steeped in history, set in one of the most beautiful regions in South
Africa and boasting SA’s top girls and boys schools and the renowned
Rhodes University.
 Otherwise known as frontier country, the region has a turbulent past,
with more forts and war sites than the rest of the country combined.
Now, no longer a place of violence and war, the region is an historic
heartland and arguably the crucible of South African history. |
