The Eastern Cape is a well-known tourist attraction due its beaches which span over 800km. That means there is more space for you to relax and take in the ocean air and crashing waves. These beaches are also some of the most uncorrupted beaches in the world.

Many of these natural attractions are perfect displays of South African beauty.

The second largest of South Africa’s nine provinces, the diverse Eastern Cape Province is situated between the Western Cape and KwaZulu Natal, and bordered by the Orange River and Drakensberg Mountains.

The Eastern Cape is an interesting place to visit. Some of the country’s most powerful political figures, like Steve Biko and Nelson Mandela, were born here and the capital city, Port Elizabeth, was a crucial center of the anti-apartheid movement.

For hundreds of years, the Eastern Cape has been the ancestral stronghold of the Xhosa people and while in many ways it has become westernised, remnants of this tribal history remain in the people and some of the unspoilt areas of the province.
