Scenic diversity, wildlife and adventure is all on offer on an Eastern Cape safari holiday. It is packed with raw, rugged beauty ranging from lush coastal forests to arid desert landscapes. And the malaria free game reserves are a key focal point.
Whilst on the Coast, the attractive sandy beaches of the Wild Coast, Ciskei and St Francis Bay offer some of the most unspoilt coastal scenery in South Africa. Complete with dramatic rock formations, forested dunes, and rolling pastures. Then inland lies the immensely beautiful Karoo with its majestic panoramas and frontier history.
The Eastern cape offers malaria free game-viewing amidst stunning scenery. Plus the temperate climate and gently undulating hills are ideal for game viewing, as there are fewer trees obscuring sightings and better vantage points. There's a choice of game lodges to suit everyone from honeymoon couples to families. And groups of friends or family parties can enjoy some of the smaller safari lodges or Villas on an exclusive basis.
The Eastern Cape is one of the prime malaria free safari areas of South Africa - alongside the Kalahari, the Waterberg and Madikwe. The Addo Elephant Park with its large and relaxed elephant herds was the first. But now there are several private game reserves.
Only the best African travel advice, tidbits and tours. No nonsense.
