Eastern Cape

Eastern Cape stretches from the Great Escarpment to the Indian Ocean, encompassing the dry Karoo interior, rolling grasslands and a long, varied coast. South Africa’s second-largest province reaches from the surf-lined Wild Coast in the northeast to Algoa Bay in the south. The Sundays River flows through the eastern interior, while Addo Elephant National Park protects a significant population of African elephants. The province is central to Xhosa cultural life; Mvezo, on the Mbashe River, is the birthplace of Nelson Mandela. Its towns range from Gqeberha, a major port, to smaller farming and coastal communities. Browse additional webcams nearby to understand how Eastern Cape relates to its South African surroundings.
