The Eastern Cape is filled with delights and enticements to excite and entertain you. We’ve gathered the best of the best to see and do so you don’t have to!
Our Summer 2022 bucket list has 22 awesome experiences that are a mix of thrilling, laid-back, family, and individual activities. These entertainments are spread out over the nine regions of the Eastern Cape, so you should be able to try at least one wherever you are staying in the province.
Day Trips
Whether you’re travelling or staying home, a day trip is a great way to take the time to do something different. This summer, check out the Kromme River day trip in St Francis Bay, starting at the craft harbour. Get glimpses of game along the way and enjoy a braai lunch as part of the tour. Get an insider view of Mdantsane with Uncuthu Tours, where you will learn the township’s history and also get a mountain biking and kayaking experience! For a game viewing day trip, visit Sibuya Game Reserve, including a drive, cold buffet lunch and boat cruise.
Foodie Feast
Revel in the feast of the festive season with unique foodie experiences. Cool down on a hot summer’s day with the best milkshake in South Africa. Friesland has branches in East London, Makhanda and Gqeberha! For the adults, try a craft beer-tasting experience in Makhanda, and book a calamari-tasting tour in Port St Francis for a taste of the sea!
Animal Encounters
Did you know that the Eastern Cape is considered the mecca for game viewing in South Africa? Not only do we have spectacular nature reserves, but there are also specialised reserves such as Monkeyland, Birds of Eden and the Wolf Sanctuary in the Tsitsikamma. A visit to these is fun and educational but also helps support the wildlife being conserved. Take a Goat Walking Tour, hiking with these tenacious animals in the Eastern Cape Highlands.
Thrilling Escapades
The Eastern Cape’s adventure experiences are legendary, giving one-of-a-kind thrills. Choose from ziplining, sand sledding, horse-riding, hiking and water sports – all family-friendly to make the most of your time off together.
