Day 1 - A Cultural Trip through East London

Welcome to East London, South Africa! We'll kickstart our adventure with a visit to the East London Museum which, fun fact, houses the only Dodo egg in existence. Absorb the rich local heritage and the indigenous Xhosa culture through various exhibits. In the afternoon, amble to the city center leading to Oxford Street. It's named similar to its UK counterpart, but believe me, it's a totally unique experience. Plenty of shopping, local cuisine to try, and one of the busiest marketplaces awaits. As evening settles, why not catch a live show at the Guild Theatre. A delightful end to day 1, wouldn't you say?

Day 2 - Unpacking the Natural Splendors

Today, we'll immerse ourselves in the charm and serenity of East London's natural beauty. Start off with a hearty breakfast before heading to the Inkwenkwezi Game Reserve, where you can experience a memorable safari ride and spot majestic elephants, lions, and zebras. Lunch at the reserve, trust me they serve some delicious bites! In the afternoon, gently transition to the tranquility of the Nahoon River. A boat ride down the Nahoon followed by a visit to the Botanical Gardens. Remember Jack and the Beanstalk? You'll soon discover why. Dinner will be a beachside barbecue at Bonza Bay Beach. Day 2, another tick on the list of marvelous moments.

Day 3 - The Perfect Finale

For our last day in East London, we plan a mix of relaxation and thrill. You've heard of breakfast in bed, but what about breakfast overlooking the Indian Ocean? That's what you get at Seaview Place Guest House. Today we embrace the ocean with a surfing lesson at Nahoon Beach. East London has some wicked waves! As it grows later, we'll approach the crescendo - the East London Aquarium and Queens Park Zoo & Botanical Garden. The day ends with a candle-lit dinner at Grill House, a local favorite. So, ready for Day 3's wild ride?
