Eastern Cape Tours, Vacations, Travel Packages & Experiences
The Eastern Cape is a province in South Africa that shares a coastline on the South Indian Ocean. It borders Lesotho in the northeast as well as four other South African provinces, Western Cape, Northern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and the Free State. Eastern Cape was formed in 1994 out of the Xhosa homelands of Transkei and Ciskei and the eastern portion of the Cape Province, all to be experienced on South Africa tours.
Despite offering many incredible natural attractions on a South African vacation, the Eastern Cape is not as touristy as other South African provinces. It is however very important in the history of the country being the birthplace of several prominent figures involved in the struggle against apartheid including Nelson Mandela, Thabo Mbeki, Steve Biko and Oliver Tambo.
The coastline of Eastern Cape is famous for beautiful beaches and for water sports including surfing, fishing and diving. Jeffrey’s Bay is one of the top five surfing destinations in the world, hosting the annual Billabong Pro ASP World Tour. Port Elizabeth is the capital city and has been nicknamed “The Friendly City” because of the outgoing nature of the people who live there. It enjoys more sunshine than any other coastal city in South Africa. Addo Elephant Park is located near Port Elizabeth supporting around 200 elephants and is very rich in birdlife, perfexct for South Africa safaris.
A province of contrasts, Eastern Cape offers informal seaside breaks as well as exciting city stays, plus many wildlife opportunities and sporting challenges all without ever being too crowded.
