Eastern Cape Regional Overview
Our guide to Eastern Cape Regional Overview by our Eastern Cape local expert - The Eastern Cape in South Africa is an enormously diverse, scenic and in large parts, undeveloped region. The long and picturesque coastline of the Eastern Cape stretches from the Tsitsikamma National Park in the west of the province, through South Africa’s friendly city – Port Elizabeth and on up the Sunshine Coast to the Shipwreck Coast of the former Ciskei homelands. From here the coastline continues past East London and on to the spectacular and sub-tropical Wild Coast, home to the Transkei tribe.

Karoo
Our guide to Karoo by our Eastern Cape local expert - The Karoo is an enormous semi-arid desert area of South Africa that can be found inland from the Garden Route. It is an ancient fossil-rich land with an array of interesting plants, wildlife and historical sites and towns. Across the Karoo National Park many activities are on offer including many great hiking and 4x4 trails; take in the Valley of Desolation with its sheer cliffs and precariously balanced columns of Dolerite rising over 100 metres from the valley floor for some of the region’s most spectacular scenery. A visit to the Ou Schuur Information Centre will provide visitors with a great introduction to the area’s cultural and ecological history from the early Khoi San tribes who once inhabited the region and left their marks in the many caves, to the 19th century farmers who chose to settle in this arid region.
