Eastern Cape

The vast majority of self-drivers coming out of Cape Town run out of time by the time they reach Port Elizabeth, leaving this a much lesser visited area.

The main reason to continue further are the game reserves of the Eastern Cape. The likes of Addo, Amakhala and Shamwari may not be truly wild areas, but they can provide a relatively easy, comfortable and non-malarial safari option.

The coast may not be subtropical like that of Natal, but Sunshine Coast East has some beautiful remote coastal areas, whilst Sunshine Coast West is a renowned surf spot.

Meanwhile Cradock and Graaff-Reinet offers some of the most interesting and high quality options in the whole of the Karoo.
