Eastern Cape Holidays
Explore the Eastern Cape's wild beauty
The Eastern Cape offers unspoiled coastline, lush hills and dramatic mountains, all backed by the semi-desert of the Karoo. Simply magical – its wild, rugged beauty remains untouched by time and there's a rich array of experiences to be had, from culture to history.
The home of some of South Africa's best game reserves – from Shamwari to Kariega and Amakhala – take a safari in the malaria-free Eastern Cape and you'll spot an abundance of wildlife including the Big Five.
Why not extend your holiday by adding a second destination? For a complete contrast, twin the Eastern Cape with Sun City – South Africa's answer to Las Vegas – or head for the buzzy city of Cape Town.
