This region of South Africa is a dichotomy of arid lands, lush rainforests and fertile river soil. Not far from Port Elizabeth lies the Addo Elephant Park in which you can wander the paths of the great beasts that it is named for. The history of the Eastern Cape is rife with the story of battles, migrations, European conquests and is the meeting ground of the Xhosa, Pondo, Zulu and Sotho tribes.
