Hotels in Eastern Cape, South Africa

Eastern Cape is a province in South Africa, stretching along the Indian Ocean coast with a subtropical climate-summers are hot (80-90°F / 27-32°C) from November to February, perfect for surfing the perfect right-hand waves at Jeffreys Bay, while winters are mild (60-70°F / 15-21°C) from May to August, ideal for game drives in Addo Elephant National Park, home to over 600 elephants. The region is famous for its diverse landscapes: the rugged Wild Coast with its rolling green hills and Xhosa villages, and the malaria-free safari areas like Amakhala Game Reserve. You can explore Nelson Mandela's birthplace in Mvezo during the cooler months, or hike the Baviaanskloof Mega Reserve for stunning canyon views in spring.
