The Eastern Cape - a region where the past and the present come together in a unique blend of history, architecture, wildlife and vegetation; a region offering magnificent beaches and estuaries, rock climbing, game parks, hiking, historical tours, fishing..........in fact, just about anything you could want to see or do on your visit - and there's no better place to see it from, than GRAHAMSTOWN.

A busy cultural, educational and commercial centre, the city of Grahamstown is situated in a temperate valley between the coastal plain and the hinterland of the eastern cape. It's strategic location makes the city readily accessible and is situated half way between Port Elizabeth and East London. Grahamstonians are characteristically proud of their city's historical heritage, a pride which is evident in the care taken to preserve and enhance the many historic buildings which endure to this day, a legacy of the time when Grahamstown was the Cape's second city. Prominent among these are the city's many places of worship, numbering over forty, which testify to the variety of cultures which coexist in the city, and the premises of Rhodes University and the several excellent schools, all of which combine to lend the city it's air of cultural diversity.
