Often nicknamed the ‘friendly city’ or the ‘windy city’, Port Elizabeth stretches for 16kilometers along Algoa Bay and is located in the Eastern Cape Province. Port Elizabeth boasts of having 300 out of 365 days a year of sunshine – more than any other province in South Africa with the result that a large range of outdoor activities are possible, regardless of when you visit.

Located at one end of the picturest Garden Route, many come to explore the many beaches in and near the city. The Eastern Cape encapsulates all the very best that South Africa has to offer – deserted beaches, authentic cultural experiences, historic settler towns, the wide open plains of the Karoo, soaring mountains and superb wildlife; all coupled with world-class accommodation.

The centrally situated Port Elizabeth Airport provides easy access to all parts of the city. Taxis offer reliable, convenient and courteous service. Scenic helicopter flights are available for those who want a bird’s eye view of the area. Another popular and unique mode of transport in Nelson Mandela Bay is water cruising – an ideal way of seeing the marine life.Looking for an adrenaline rush, why not conquer the Maitland Sand Dunes. Other places to explore include the historic Fort Frederick and the Penguin Rehabilitation Centre.

Nelson Mandela Bay prides itself on offering the Big Seven of the animal kingdom. In addition to the Big Five – lion, rhino, buffalo, leopard and elephant – visitors to the nearby 180 000ha Addo Elephant National Park can see the great white shark and southern right whale in the bay waters off the park.
After sunset, people often head for the beachfront where clubs, bars and restaurants light up the night sky.
