As an extension to the Garden Route lies Port Elizabeth which is situated 260 km from Knysna and +- 800km from Cape Town. One of PE's greatest treasures are the clean beaches and warm water, making it an ideal water sport centre. The combination of calm waters and fair breezes are perfect conditions for sailing, and the safe beaches allow for swimming, surfing, body boarding and any kind of water sport.
There are historical attractions, one the most interesting being the Historic Donkin Heritage trail, which allows you to follow in the footsteps of the 1820 Settlers.
There are also a number of large and small Wildlife Game Reserves in the area that include the ‘Big Five’, and prove a memorable African experience. The area is Malaria Free.
