Eastern Cape Travel

The Eastern Cape is South Africa's second largest province (second only to the Northern Cape) and offers visitors mountain ranges aplenty, the Karoo and her heart-stopping scenery, a coastline lapped by the Indian Ocean and of course those "Big 5" malaria-free game reserves.

The perfect destination for those interested in history, wildlife and birdlife, cultural diversity, hiking and walking trails, the isolation of the Karoo, or just exploring the coastline.

The Eastern Cape and her game reserves are (like the Madikwe Game Reserve) perfect for families as the area is Malaria-Free.

Include the Eastern Cape in your itinerary and you will not be disappointed, just add Cape Town, The Cape Wineland, Overberg and the Garden Route for a superb safari.
