Post Elizabeth and the Eastern Cape is steeped
in Bristish, German settler, Xhosa and Sun
history. The Nelson Mandela Metro
(including Port Elizabeth, Uitenhage and
Despatch) is the gateway to the Eastern Cape
Region, its well-equipped airport and harbour
linking South Africa with other national and
international destinations. Depending on
which side you come from or going to (for
example, Cape Town), Port Elizabeth is the start
or end of the Garden Route.
Known as the "Friendly City", Port Elizabeth is
located on the south-eastern coast, 763 km east
of Cape Town. A superb value-for-money holiday
base, Port Elizabeth offers a diverse selection
of attractions as a family-fun holiday
destination including scenic nature trails,
historic heritage, magnificent wildlife,
cultural experiences and countless water sport
activities.
