The Eastern Cape boasts a
remarkable natural diversity, ranging from the lush, evergreen Tsitsikamma Forest to the
rugged Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area, the southern slopes of the Drakensberg and the arid
Great Karoo. It is known as the land of rolling hills, endless sweeps of rocky coves and

splendid facilities ensure that there is something for every one! |
