Hotels in Eastern Cape, South Africa

Eastern Cape is a province on South Africa's southeastern coast, famous for its Big 7 wildlife in Addo Elephant National Park and world-class surfing at Jeffreys Bay's Supertubes. The climate is mild year-round, with winter temperatures around 50-70°F (10-21°C) perfect for spotting lions and elephants in the park's open terrain, while summer highs of 75-85°F (24-29°C) invite you to ride the waves at the Bay or hike the Wild Coast's coastal trails. In the dry winter months from June to August, game viewing is at its peak, and by December you can explore the desolate beauty of the Karoo's Valley of Desolation near Graaff-Reinet.
