A hauntingly beautiful region, arguably the crucible of South African history, Frontier Country is a vibrant mix of all the best that Africa has to offer.

One of the premier tourist routes in the Eastern Cape, it has a turbulent past, with more forts than the rest of the country combined.

Now no longer the scene of conflict and strife, Frontier Country is the historic heartland of the Eastern Cape and embodies the spirit of the many and varied cultures who met here and made their mark. They brought with them a rich heritage that can still be seen today in towns and villages all over the Eastern Cape. With Grahamstown at its centre, Frontier Country is one of the most diverse ecological regions in South Africa, with a variety of biomes that provide unspoilt and spectacular scenery. Thousands of hectares are devoted to nature and game conservation, bringing with them the return of great herds of wildlife to the places where they once roamed freely. This malaria-free region is fast gaining local and international popularity for excellent game-viewing with a variety of private reserves which include the Big Five.
 
 
 
In Frontier Country one can experience untamed Africa at its best and view the Big Five in malaria-free reserves, indulge in fresh and salt water fishing for trout and ocean game fish, experience some of the most rewarding birdlife and see a wide range of plant life including the almost prehistoric cycads in their natural environment. It may also be possible to attend one or more of over 400 performances presented annually at the biggest Arts Festival in the Southern Hemisphere.

Whether you choose to explore Frontier Country in the saddle - on horseback or your mountain bicycle - by car or coach, by river raft or canoe or on your own two feet, you will be awed by the beauty of its mountains, valleys, plains, rivers and coastline. There are also opportunities to indulge in adventure sports ranging from skydiving to scuba diving.

Frontier Country people from all walks of life are hospitable and friendly. Whether you are buying arts and crafts, sampling a traditional meal, enjoying fine cuisine in a country restaurant, having a pint in a country pub, watching a cricket match on an old village green or visiting a township or historical monument, you will be made to feel especially welcome. There is a great deal for explorers to do in Frontier Country, including visiting historical sites, architectural gems, museums and galleries.

We look forward to welcoming you to Frontier Country.
