Mbodla Eco-Heritage Route
Eastern Cape:
The main feature of the Eastern Cape is its magnificent coastline. With its wide open sandy beaches, secluded lagoons and towering cliffs, the Indian Ocean coastline provides the province with rich natural tourist attractions, and is also a paradise for watersports enthusiasts. Added to the diverse coastal experiences are more than 60 state-owned game reserves and more than thirty private game farms, which collectively cover an area greater than the Kruger National Park.
Route area:
The Fish River (Nxuba) Valley is located adjacent to a thriving game-farming area of the Eastern Cape. Prestigious world-class game farms like the Shamwari and Kwandwe Private Game Reserves have now been joined by numerous private and public initiatives, including the Greater Addo National Park and the Greater Fish River Complex. All these facilities already attract a considerable tourism clientele in the wildlife tourism sector. The Mbodla Eco-heritage Route adds an original, Afro-centric, environmental, cultural and heritage dimension to the region’s offerings.
The Fish river Valley is located within a two hours drive from the Eastern Cape’s centres such as Port Elizabeth and East London. It is strategically located on the National Route of the N2, which runs from Port Elizabeth to Durban, carrying a lot of tourism traffic, and forms one end of the Garden Route. The N2 highway also passes through the southern end of the Mhala valley, giving extremely easy access to visitors from all he major urban centres in the Eastern Cape. The area has rich historical sites that showcase the interaction between the Xhosa people and Europeans through 100 years of frontier wars.
