We are planning to visit Eastern Cape from 23Dec to 10Jan. Recommended by friends to take the Sunshine coast & Country Route i.e. Port Elizabeth to East London. Can anyone suggest a good travel agent or should we just rent a car, book the accommodation in advance and go on our own? Thanks for any information and help. Elaine

We are trying to plan a trip along the Garden Route and are getting lots of different suggestions of where to actually stay along the way. Plan is to stay 4 nights in Cape Town at one end of the trip, and 3 nights in Kariega at the other end, leaving another 6 nights. As can visit winelands from Cape Town one popular suggestions seems to be 1 night Swellendam, 4 nights based in Knysna as a main base, then 1 night in Port Elizabeth. Does that sound like a good plan? And is Knysna the best place for the 4 night base, or would George or Wilderness be better? Or any other suggestions gratefully received. The idea would be to do a days circular drive up to Oudtshoorn taking in as much different scenery as possible. Would also like to take the train between George and Knysna, and take a deep sea fishing trip if possible. Also take in Storms River and sort of rafting (maybe!). And one more question, some of the hotels that look lovely are or course not centrally placed in Knysna. I was wondering if centrally placed such as the Quays would be better if staying in Knysna for 4 nights, for going out in the evening to eat and drink?

I am currently living in Malaysia and have been offered a
job in Grahamstown. I am a single mum and have a daughter in primary school. Have read and heard wonderful things about south africa but at the same time I come across horrible pieces of information such as "rape capital of the world", "50 children raped everyday", etc. I am sure you can understand my concerns. I am having a difficult time trying to make this decision. I was hoping someone living in that region can give me more information about how safe a place like Grahamstown would be for a mother and daughter, before I decide to relocate.

We are considering visiting Schotia Game Park while in South Africa. I have heard that their Tooth and Claw Night is great and that they will take you on an escorted tour of Addo Elephant Park the next day. Any feedback? Has anyone stayed there?

We looking for a good game reserve to visit. We went to Addo last year and heard of Kariega. Has anyone ever been there? Or can anyone recommend anywhere else

Are there any safe pubs or bars in P St Johns - hope toi be there 25/02/2006.

Thank you

My family and I will be staying in Port Elizabeth over the Christmas period and would like to know what is on in the area, ie pantomimes or any other shows or concerts. Been searching the net but had no luck. Can any one please help.

Hi,

Anyone know some good (but not too expensive) accommodation in the above mentioned two areas, for around December this year ?

Thanks

How do yo pronounce Xhosa?

Is it reasonable to drive a rental car between East London and Durban in one day, or should one plan to spend the night somewhere between them?

Has anyone ever stayed at the Calabash Lodge in Port Elizabeth? (And how come no one has posted anything for Port Elizabeth yet??)
