  Essentially the Eastern Cape is about
malaria-free safaris and beach vacations. The Eastern Cape has a host of private and
national game reserves, many of them practically neighbours, although you need to have
done your homework as far as children are concerned as some game reserves that welcome
children may not allow them on game drives unless a particular vehicle is taken by your
family alone. But as a rule, national parks are extremely child-friendly. Combining a
safari with self-driving along the coast, stopping at a number of beaches in your own
time, is a wonderful way to experience both the untamed and the more refined aspects of
the Eastern Cape. Many visitors to the country fly in via Port
Elizabeth, where there are fantastic beaches, an oceanarium and snake park at which to
entertain children.
For others, the Eastern Cape is all about the Addo Elephant
National Park and visiting the sanctuary that offers this sacred animal of Africa a
home, just 73 kilometres from Port Elizabeth, where children are welcome. The sighting
board, just outside reception is a bonus when you have children, and the Addo Main Camp is
good value for money.
Other great visits for families with children include: the rock pools at Middle Beach in
Kenton - filled with sea creatures - that allow a fair amount of safe swimming and even
babies enjoy the water, which is warmer having baked in the sun for a while; the beach at Cape
St Francis - one of the best beaches in the country and ideal for families, and
fishing on the Kromme River.
Kenton
on Sea’s Shelley Bay, which you can reach by driving to Bushman’s River and
then following the road until it peters out. There follows quite a walk over sand dunes -
interspersed with endemic aloes - so not a good idea with little ones, but for older kids,
it’s a lark; and finally, the Tiffindell ski resort - the only place on the continent
at which you can snow ski - is set on the slopes of the southern Drakensberg. |
