Eastern Cape Information Directory

The Eastern Cape is known to be South Africa’s second largest province following the Northern Cape as the largest.  The capital of the province is Bhisho.  This province is one of natural beauty and diversity unmatched in another province.  The Eastern Cape moves from the desert-like Great Karoo to the lush forests of the Wild Coast and the Keiskamma Valley, on to the Langkloof Valley.

Home to a number of renowned tertiary education establishments like Rhodes University, the Nelson Mandela University and the Walter Sisulu University of Technology, the Eastern Cape is a proud student supporter.  Transport in and out of the Eastern Cape is not a problem as there is a good road system and there are airports at Bhisho, East London, Mthatha and Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha), along with two major harbours in East London and Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha).
