Eastern Cape
Here's a little secret I'd like to share with you: the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Think wide-open spaces, untouched landscapes, and charming villages nestled among rolling green hills and rugged coastlines. It's peaceful and authentic, without the hustle and bustle of touristy areas. It's this quiet beauty that makes me love it here so much.

The Eastern Cape is brimming with activities, from adrenaline pumping funย to cultural experiences, wildlife encountersย and fun beach days. ย But the real magic of the region lies in its people and culture. Take a walk through the towns and villages, chat with the locals, and soak up the rich history and traditions that make this place so unique.I have spent a good amount of time travelling the Eastern Cape and my stories cover everything from how to reach off-the-beaten path destinations, safety tips, budget accommodations, hiking trails and wildlife destinations.So, if you're craving an adventure that's off the beaten path, pack your bags and head to the Eastern Cape.
