With so many areas of natural beauty, beaches, activities, cultures and wildlife havens, the Eastern and Western Cape provinces are both great choices for a South African holiday in their own right. However, combine the two and you may just have the perfect all-round destination.
LONG FOR MEMORABLE WILDLIFE ENCOUNTERS???
Embrace the variety offerded by the Western Cape, such as whale watching, ostrich riding, shark diving, swimming with penguins and marvelling at meerkats, before rounding things out by jumping headlong into classic Big 5 safari in the Eastern Cape.
WANT A TASTE OF SOUTH AFRICAN CULTURE???
Tour a teeming Cape Town township, sample a fine wine in Stellenbosch and try Cape Malay cuisine, then head east to the remote beaches of the Wild Coast and learn about the Xhosa people while enjoying a home stay in a traditional village hut.
