EASTERN CAPE

Regarded as South Africa’s “wild” province, the Eastern Cape features expanses of untouched beach, immense sand dunes, bush, forest, rolling pastures, cathedral cities and peaceful country towns that yield a plethora of visitor activities and attractions.

It is also home to numerous conservation areas and game reserves where visitors can enjoy the “Big 5” (lion, leopard, rhino, buffalo and elephant) in a malaria-free environment. Located a mere 90-minute drive beyond the scenic Garden Route, the Eastern Cape is conveniently situated for combining a self-drive holiday with an unforgettable safari experience.

Highlights include Addo Elephant Park and the Grahamstown National Arts Festival.

Submerse yourself in pure luxury with your own dedicated butler, chef and 4×4 safari vehicle at one of Kwandwe’s exclusive safari lodges, or appreciate the unique setting of Kariega River Lodge which offers “Big 5” game-viewing by boat as you cruise down the river towards the sea.
