Eastern Cape, South Africa

Nestled between the Western Cape and KwaZulu Natal, the Eastern Cape has a lot to offer. It has an incredibly long untouched coastline and put together, its game reserves cover a huge area, bigger than the Kruger National Park. Its mild climate is a bonus all-year-round and as a region it swings to Mediterranean climate the closer you get to the Western Cape and then again more subtropical towards KZN. Either way, one can expect beautiful yet diverse nature, friendliness and mild but sunny weather.

Health Requirements None.
