Port Elizabeth

Port Elizabeth sits at the heart of the famed Garden Route, midway between Durban and Cape Town on the east coast in the Eastern Cape Province.

Nelson Mandela Bay incorporates the city of Port Elizabeth (or ‘PE’ to locals) – South Africa’s second oldest city and the towns of Despatch and Ultenhage.

The coastline of the Bay is adorned with 25 miles of sun-drenched golden beaches which are some of the best in South Africa.

Whats ‘lekker’ (great) about ‘PE’? Moderate and temperate weather all year round, surf beaches (including the Blue Flag beaches of St Georges Beach and Humewood Beach), the Boardwalk Casino, shopping centres and vert little traffic congestion.

The Port Elizabeth harbour, waterfront and city centre are all being upgraded for the World Cup. Nelson Mandela Bay is the perfect stone to both the self-drive Garden Route and well-known malaria free game parks that are popular with UK visitors and tour operators. Don’t miss game viewing at Shamwari, Addo Elephant National Park and private reserves like Amakhala, Kariega and Kwandwe.
