Luxury Vacations to The Eastern Cape

A Luxury Vacation to the Eastern Cape is one of the lesser-explored destinations of South Africa and is a brilliant option for families as it is malaria-free. There are some beautiful lodges and camps here which excel in both conservation efforts and educational safari experiences. Located north of Port Elizabeth, at the end of the Garden Route, this scenically diverse and fascinating province has much to offer visitors. Along the coastline, the warm waters of the Indian Ocean lap onto a wide range of beaches on South Africa's Eastern Cape. Family-friendly sands surround Kenton-on-Sea, whereas the Wild Coast is more dramatic with rougher shores.

The Best of The Eastern Cape

From the sandy beaches and rugged coastline to the wide open plains and mountains of the inland Karoo, the private game reserves that make up this region offer excellent Big 5 game viewing opportunities. Alongside the Big 5, the Eastern Cape is home to other unique species such as aardvark, brown hyena, cheetah, and wonderful bird life.

The size of the reserves in the Eastern Cape can be vast. Kwandwe has 74,000 acres, with two lodges and three private houses spread across the reserve offering a variety of memorable safari experiences. It's one of our top choices for families, and a particular highlight is the Rhino Conservation safari at Kwandwe Ecca Lodge. It's a fascinating insight into how the Kwandwe ecological team monitors and protects the reserve's black and white rhino population.
