Eastern Cape
Various Big-5 parks around Port Elizabeth
Often start or end point of a route along the Garden Route
Lonely Karoo backcountry
The Eastern Cape offers various safari parks around Port Elizabeth. The area can be used as the start or end point of a route along the Garden Route from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth or vice versa.
Interesting for us are some of the safari parks. The first parks were installed around 1990 and slowly built up, especially in the knowledge that the Big 5 were once at home in the Eastern Cape in the last century. A safari in the Eastern Cape doesn't feel as wild as in other African countries, as we are much closer to civilization, but the parks are very good for families, as the area is free of malaria and many of the camps are very child friendly.
