Eastern Cape - Diverse and Popular
The Eastern Cape Province in South Africa is a diverse region, with varied landscapes, activities and attractions. The province is popular with tourists due to the selection of cities and luxury nature reserves that are located in the province. From dry Karoo areas to dense forests, breathtaking mountains and spectacular coastal destinations, the Eastern Cape can offer it all to visitors.
Port Elizabeth and East London are the two major cities in the province, and stretching out from them, across the region, is a world of adventure and excitement. Natural attractions such as the Addo Elephant Park, Shamwari Game Reserve, Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area, Tsitsikamma National Park and the Amatola Mountains attract thousands of tourists each year. The chance to take a glimpse at the Big Five while still being close enough to internationally known beaches such as in Jeffreys Bay is a convincing lure to the province. Those looking for some major action can also try bungee jumping at Bloukrans Bridge, after which they can discover the magnificence of the Storms River area.
The Eastern Cape is a melting pot of activities that include fishing, bird watching, hiking, water sports, extreme adventures, historical landmarks and unforgettable landscapes. Discover a region that became home to the 1820 settlers and where prominent South African leaders such as, Steve Biko, Nelson Mandela and Charles Coglan grew up and lived. It is a province filled with entertainment, amazement and unmatched beauty.

as the custodians of the history and culture of the town, would they be willing to host an exhibition of the local artists from time to time in order to attract the visitors of the world this year

I must say very disappointed. Was there in Dec what a mistake. when we pay we ask for the dolphine show yes said the guy and pay for 6 people. so we went in. the underground stuff the water so dirty and the shark tenk you can only see when they are near so we went out the pool so dirty and green we were there in march and there was clear water and dolphins. so when the show began no dolphins they didn't say anything. when we asked o they are in hongkong and may take years to return. and the guy were we paid did not even say there are no more dolphins. really very disappointing. Go and have a look at durban's and cape town aquariums really no notice nothing that say no dolphins. very disappointing.

how steve died was horrible but as he said "i would rather die for an idea that will live than to live for an idea that will do", that's what he did.

I visited the Fort Murry Ruins on 30/08/2009 and was shocked to see in wat condition this National Heritage site were in . Plastic bags and 5litre plastic cans were strewn all over this "National Heritage Site". This could be a great attraction to tourists but surely not in its present condition. Can be a great oppertunity for job creation just cleaning this wonderfull site. The Fort Murray bridge is also in urgent need of attention. The Buffalo river below the bridge is overgrown with water hiesinth
