South African Information - Eastern Cape
The malaria free Eastern Cape is the traditional home of the Xhosa people
of South Africa and offers the visitor a world of diversities. The Eastern
Cape 's interior, consisting of arid Karoo with its divesre wildlife is
in stark contrast with the sunshine and pristine beaches of the coastal
Coast areas.
Eastern Cape has many national parks, numerous game and nature reserves
and vast wilderness areas where wild animals and beautiful flowers flourish
in protected paradises. The province boasts with being the ideal tourist
destination with it's sunshine all year round, it's hundreds of kilometres
of unspoiled beaches and beautiful mountain ranges filled with fauna and
flaura.
The Eastern Cape is South Africa’s hidden gem, much of it is little
known and underexplored. The Eastern Cape has an extraordinary variety
of cultural history and scenic beauty, ranging from the vast, dry Great
Karoo to the fertile agricultural lands of the Little Karoo and the ‘Settler
Country’ around Grahamstown, and above all, the magnificent cliffs
and coves of the Wild Coast. The Eastern Cape is also home to two of South
Africa’s major seaports, East London and Port Elizabeth, and several
excellent small game reserves, including Addo Elephant Park. The area
around East London is the homeland of the Xhosa people, many of whom,
including Nelson Mandela, have played a crucial role in recent South African
history.
