of the coastal Coast areas.
The Eastern Cape has many national parks, numerous game and nature reserves
and vast wilderness areas where wild animals and beautiful flowers flourish
in protected paradises. The Eastern Cape boasts with being the ideal tourist
destination with it's sunshine all year round, it's hundreds of kilometres
of unspoiled beaches and beautiful mountain ranges filled with fauna
and flaura.
The Eastern Cape is South Africa’s hidden gem, much of it is
little known and underexplored. The Eastern Cape has an extraordinary
variety of cultural history and scenic beauty, ranging from the vast,
dry Great Karoo to the fertile agricultural lands of the Little Karoo
and the ‘Settler Country’ around Grahamstown, and above
all, the magnificent cliffs and coves of the Wild Coast. The Eastern
Cape is also home to two of South Africa’s major seaports, East
London and Port Elizabeth, and several excellent small game reserves,
including Addo Elephant Park. The area around East London is the homeland
of the Xhosa people, many of whom, including Nelson Mandela, have played
a crucial role in recent South African history.
