EASTERN CAPE LUXURY LODGES - a nature lover's territory

The second largest of South Africa's nine provinces, the ancestral land of the Xhosa people, birthplace of Nelson Mandela and once one of the richest game areas of Africa, the Eastern Cape landscape ranges from the dry desolate Great Karoo to the steamy forests of the Wild Coast and the Keiskamma Valley, and going on a safari and staying at one of the Eastern Cape luxury lodges in malaria free game reserves is a marvellous getaway choice.

The Eastern Cape boasts the most concentrated elephant reserve in Africa. Home to a large herd of elephants, the Addo Elephant National Park allows close quarter viewings of these majestic beasts. For those, however, who wish to deviate from game viewing, Eastern Cape luxury lodges provide all sorts of other tempting entertainments - try pampering yourself with a massage and beauty treatment by the resident qualified therapist or just simply relax alongside the sparkling swimming pool with tea and tiny cakes. You'll discover mouth watering, world class dinners prepared in these Eastern Cape luxury lodges, which emphasize fine dining prepared by resident chefs and always accompanied by the best of local wines.

There are other private game reserves that lie in the heart of South Africa's Eastern Cape region abounding in African wildlife. Thousands of animals including lion, black and white rhino, buffalo and elephant roam these diverse and fascinating reserves; and a selection of unique Eastern Cape luxury lodges satisfy all tastes. You can truly experience warm, true African hospitality and find a restful intimacy in the Eastern Cape bushveld where game drives are conducted by professional rangers who entertain and inform with their extensive knowledge of the abundant wildlife and rare flora.

Cardinal Leisure custom-design getaways like these for you to experience Africa at its best - a perfect balance between the Eastern Cape bush and the sheer elegance of fine country life in a malaria free zone.
