    The Eastern Cape province includes the former "homelands" of Transkei and Ciskei. With a long coastline on the Indian Ocean it offers great beaches as well as several very interesting National Parks. Its population is mainly Xhosa-speaking and the province is home to several of South Africa`s most important persons in the fight against Apartheid (e.g. Nelson Mandela, Thabo Mbeki, Steve Biko and Oliver Tambo). It's still a poor province especially in the former homelands but beautiful and not so touristy.

    • By car

      The main motorway in the province is the N2. It runs along the coast from [wiki=5a6e47df50f895eec53a4dd2fe2393de]Cape Town[/wiki] via the [wiki=f8dca86e19d3e834a0a6b4e27db712c6]Garden Route[/wiki], [wiki=82d5ae808a5f29fcf402045a7ecc4231]Port Elizabeth[/wiki], the Transkei and further through [wiki=d90f521480955cc525506a5b7691a734]KwaZulu-Natal[/wiki] and [wiki=f6e573ec7795b82466c7a76ff015c8fe]Mpumalanga[/wiki]. The road condition is mainly excellent except in the Transkei (Do not travel the Transkei portion of the N2 at night as the potholes can be deep and there are often stray animals ie cows and goats wandering around).

    • By plane

      [wiki=82d5ae808a5f29fcf402045a7ecc4231]Port Elizabeth[/wiki] and [wiki=befe536d1ab23ccb179a7b66603dd98f]East London[/wiki] are the main national airports both with several flights daily to other South African destinations, but no international flights.

    • By train

      [url=http://www.spoornet.co.za/ShosholozaMeyl]Spoornet[/url] operates regular trains from [wiki=33416c1d32d3c19771d09bf215c7b514]Johannesburg[/wiki] to both [wiki=82d5ae808a5f29fcf402045a7ecc4231]Port Elizabeth[/wiki] and [wiki=befe536d1ab23ccb179a7b66603dd98f]East London[/wiki].

  • filter_dramaGet around
    • By car

      Definitely the best option if you are more than two as several regions and some of the National Parks aren't accessible by public transport. Road Conditions are mainly good but get informed before you start. Car rental is available in larger cities and along the popular resorts of the Garden Route.

      Be careful of wild animals, especially monkeys, on the road. Be especially careful if driving at night.

    • By bus

      The main companies cross the Eastern Cape on their way from [wiki=5a6e47df50f895eec53a4dd2fe2393de]Cape Town[/wiki] to [wiki=1842bcd39672346f0cfecd0d372a97d4]Durban[/wiki]. There are other main routes from [wiki=82d5ae808a5f29fcf402045a7ecc4231]Port Elizabeth[/wiki] and [wiki=befe536d1ab23ccb179a7b66603dd98f]East London[/wiki] to [wiki=33416c1d32d3c19771d09bf215c7b514]Johannesburg[/wiki].

      The Baz Bus traverses the province on its [wiki=5a6e47df50f895eec53a4dd2fe2393de]Cape Town[/wiki] - [wiki=82d5ae808a5f29fcf402045a7ecc4231]Port Elizabeth[/wiki] - [wiki=1842bcd39672346f0cfecd0d372a97d4]Durban[/wiki] run ; [wiki=82d5ae808a5f29fcf402045a7ecc4231]Port Elizabeth[/wiki] is a compulsory overnight stop.

      Minibus services are available for local transport between neighbouring towns (and also on several longer distances).

    • By train

      With the limited range of railways this isn't really a viable option for touring the province. However, the route from [wiki=827efacb962d26ebdc1bd99059ec6d1d]Grahamstown[/wiki] to Alicedale is very scenic and well worth doing. The newly-opened line from [wiki=befe536d1ab23ccb179a7b66603dd98f]East London[/wiki] to [wiki=47aec50133e04c07620253ff1b5c57ac]Mthatha[/wiki] also traverses some dramatic scenery through the [wiki=4c7d3d717f77cca66d38dee91f36493c]Wild Coast[/wiki].
