Port Elizabeth

 
 


The coastal city of Port Elizabeth, which has earned the name of Friendly City, is a superb holiday destination, offering a diverse mix of eco attractions. The Isuzu National Sailing Week is held annually in April in the waters of Algoa Bay. The city boasts various scuba-diving sites. Visitors can also visit Bay World with its oceanarium and snake park, and many splendid museums. Other attractions include the Greater Addo Elephant National Park and game reserves; the traditional healing village, Kaya Lendaba; birdwatching; air tours; canoeing; various mountain-bike and horseriding trails; and organised outdoor excursions. The Greater Addo Elephant National Park nurtures some 400 elephants; one of the largest concentrations of elephant to be found in the world. Plans are underway to expand the park to incorporate a marine reserve from the Sundays River Mouth to Cape Pardone, including off-shore islands. It will feature the Big Five as well as southern right whales and great white sharks. Tourists can also explore the Donkin Heritage Trail, take a ride on the famous Apple Express and go hiking along the site of ancient shipwrecks on the Sacramento Trail.
