Vast white beaches, immense sand dunes, majestic mountains, forests, rolling pastures, river gorges, game reserves, peaceful country towns, cathedral cities, charming seaside resorts, universities, Xhosa villages – the Eastern Cape offers an exceptional diversity of natural, cultural and historical treasures, which reflect the South African experience.
