My top personal favorite East Coast locations of South Africa (highly requested)! Save this post for your next visit 😋🇿🇦
Over the last 6 months I’ve rediscovered the Eastern Cape and it’s been a journey of reconnecting with some of my favorite, most cherished places. These spots located along South Africa’s iconic Garden Route, are deeply personal to me and many of them I’m sharing locations for the first time!
1. Schotia Safari
A guided safari offering intimate wildlife encounters
2. Addo Elephant Park
Adventourous self-drive safari famous for its African elephants and diverse wildlife
3. Sardinia Bay
My favorite beach in the world for its unspoiled coastline that goes on forever plus best sunset spot in the summer! P.S I will get married here one day lol 👰🏽♀️
Horse rides by
4. Maitlands Mouth
My favorite downhill skate spot, with dunes perfect for sandboarding and an epic ocean backdrop! This is my local beach and secret spot I’ve never shared the location before…
5. Jeffrey’s Bay / Jbay
The world’s best right-hand point break, a surfer’s dream and cute vibrant coastal town, great shopping for surf brands
6. Bloukrans Bungee
The highest bungee jump in Africa/ the world, a bucket list activity and stunning views
7. Tsitsikamma
A lush natural haven for hiking, birdwatching, and soaking in incredible nature and sunshine.
8. Storms River
Kayak through dramatic gorges surrounded by towering cliffs that kinda looks like a scene from Jurassic Park
9. Otter Trail
A super challenging coastal hike but has the most incredible secluded natural pools and thriving marine life!
These places, along South Africa’s Garden Route, reflect the wild spirit of our country’s coastlines— places I hold close to my heart!! I hope you’re able to see and enjoy these places as much as I do ❤️
