The Eastern Cape boasts several spectacular private game reserves where exceptional Big Five game viewing can be enjoyed. The area is free of the risk of malaria, which makes it very suitable for families travelling with children, elderly folk or pregnant women. Eastern Cape landscapes are magnificently scenic and make for wonderful safaris. For visitors to the Cape who are strapped for time and cannot visit the country’s northern safari regions, the Eastern Cape offers a first-class alternative.
