East coast is the best coast

Traveling up the East coast of South Africa is one of the most rewarding ways to get to know the diversity of this country. You will meet warm, friendly people, visit places with magnificent flora and fauna and enjoy some of the most breathtaking scenery to be found anywhere in the world. Nowhere will this be more true then when you enter one of South Africa’s most unspoiled provinces, the Eastern Cape. The Eastern Cape can truly be said to have it all. Luxury accommodation, world class cuisine, friendly people and stunning natural beauty combine to make this province one of South Africa’s prime holiday destinations.

A rich palette of experiences awaits

If your next holiday must provide the perfect balance between leisure and learning then look no further than the Eastern Cape. Swimming beaches and golf clubs sit alongside each other, while the Bayworld oceanarium is ready to delight young and old alike. Take a township tour for an authentic South African experience or indulge yourself with a gourmet meal, the Eastern Cape offers a rich palette of unique experiences. Your choice of accommodation is made simple with the large numbers of game lodges, 5 star hotels and bed and breakfasts in the area. The Eastern Cape has something for everyone.

East London accommodation

East London, or ‘Slummies’ as it’s affectionately known is anything but a slum. Take in the sunset at the marina or a walk on the many beaches and you’ll be struck by both the natural beauty of the area and the friendlyness of the people. Go to a seaside pub and you’ll immediately be drawn into a group of laughing locals.

And you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to accommodation. You can stay at a five star resort or you can hire a beachside bungalow, the choice is yours. Myself, I’d go for a Bed and Breakfast, the owners are alays friendly and the food is always good.

Hotels in the Eastern Cape

The Eastern Cape is one of the most lovely parts of South Africa with numerous rivers reaching the ocean in the area it a haven for fishing and boating enthusiasts.

And with large swathes of undisturbed riverine forest it is extremely popular for hiking.

Accommodation can be found at one of the many hotels and lodges in the area, from five star luxury to bed and breakfasts, there’s something suitable for every family and every pocket.

Hotels can also be found at every setting, from the beach front to the riverfront and deeper into the indigenous forests that are found throughout the region.
