When I mention rural Eastern Cape cultural tours,people immediately think that its a budget,dirty,difficult conditions,sleep on the floor no en suite bathroom experience.

As you can see the Eastern Cape lodging we use is quaint,local, full of local flavor and local architecture design…..its the heartfelt warmth of genuine hospitality that makes these tours memorable,

Our Eastern Cape lodging gives you a real experience of the area, a personal contact with local people, a memorable heart to heart connection, different from the big hotels…people to people, seeing scenery that many visitors to South Africa, do not get to experience…..

Wild Coast = Northern area of the Eastern Cape…beautiful mountains, valleys,indigenous forests,beaches,local villages,art and crafts stands,scenic waterfalls plunging into the ocean,warm friendly people.
