Eastern Cape Safari Tours

Eastern Cape Tours & Holidays

A destination of deserted beaches and exclusive game reserves, home to friendly coastal towns and remote safari lodges and offering family holidays, decadent romance and malaria-free Big 5 safaris, South Africa’s Eastern Cape province is well known for its phenomenal diversity. Enjoy brilliant night skies in the starkly beautiful semi-desert of the Karoo, search for lions and elephant in private reserves and stroll on wild beaches whilst watching dolphins in the waves.

One of our Eastern Cape tours and holidays could mark the start or finish of an unforgettable journey. This little-visited region of South Africa lies at the end of the beautiful Garden Route – make your way there from Cape Town on an organised tour or self-drive adventure, and be sure to include a detour through the Cape Winelands or along the Whale Coast.

We have a comprehensive selection of tours and safaris in the Eastern Cape that include Big 5 safaris and luxurious honeymoons but if you can’t find what you’re looking for, simply let one of our Africa Safari Experts tailor-make your holiday to your budget and interests.
