DESTINATIONS

Known as “The Friendly City” Port Elizabeth is the 5th biggest city in South Africa and the largest on the coast between Cape Town and Durban. It is as popular leisure resort with an attractive atmosphere of year-round holiday fun. Its warm welcoming people are matched by a climate which boasts more sunshine than any other coastal town in the country. The beaches are always buzzing with sun worshippers and conditions are excellent for surfing, sailing, diving and angling.

Port Elizabeth has beautiful parks, botanical gardens and nature reserves with an abundance of bird life. Many inland and coastal walking trails can be explored in the area.

In 1820 the Settlers were introduced to their new land, and there they built some of the most charming period homes that still enhance the city’s landscape. Since then, the tiny settlement has grown into a busy commercial, industrial and educational city with attractive shops, parks, theatres, museums and restaurants. After exploring the city of Port Elizabeth, a day trip can be made to the beautiful Tsitsikamma National Park.

From historical and architectural points of view, Grahamston and Graaf Reinet should not be missed.
