Interactive Map of Eastern Cape
Eastern Cape
Where else can you surf the world’s biggest
waves, ski down the only snow slopes in Africa, go on a `big seven’ safari,
visit the birthplace of Nelson Mandela and bungee the highest bridge
in the southern
hemisphere? The Eastern Cape of South Africa, of course.
The second largest of South Africa’s
nine provinces, the diverse Eastern Cape landscape ranges from the
dry desolate Great
Karoo to the
steamy forests of the Wild Coast and the Keiskamma Valley. The area also
embraces the fertile Langkloof, renowned for its rich apple harvests,
and is cradled by the mountainous southern Drakensberg.
Here, widespread hills are juxtaposed
with sandy beaches; here small-town South Africa comes to greet you – gently offering hospitality and
friendship and asking for nothing in return. This is where the `big seven’ roam,
and where the tropical forests share their space with abundant birdlife
and nature at its most generous.
