This unspoiled haven offers dramatic coastal scenery, thrilling outdoor adventures, and the chance to immerse yourself in the vibrant traditions of the Xhosa people. Enjoy a blend of coastal wilderness and rich cultural heritage for an unforgettable adventure.
The Transkei may not be as well-known for safaris as Kruger National Park, but it boasts diverse wildlife. You might encounter antelope, zebras, wildebeest, and occasionally rhinos or elephants in some reserves. Birdwatching is also popular, with over 400 bird species in the region.
Private game reserves in the Transkei offer guided game drives in open vehicles, often paired with luxurious accommodation options. For a unique experience, try a horseback safari, combining riding with wildlife viewing along the Wild Coast.
