Frequently Asked Questions
In an industrial harbour with no cruise terminal. Shuttles and taxis handle the exit from the port area, and full-day excursions leave directly from the quay.
The name was adopted in 2021 and comes from the Baakens River running through the city, so named in Xhosa. Many South Africans still say Port Elizabeth, or simply PE.
A public art trail climbing from the Campanile near the port up to the heights: 67 works, one for each year Nelson Mandela devoted to public life. Mosaics, sculptures and murals lead to a monumental staircase crowned by a huge South African flag.
A stone pyramid raised in 1820 by Governor Rufane Donkin in memory of his wife Elizabeth, who gave the city its name, and an 1861 lighthouse now housing the tourist office. The terrace overlooks the city rooftops, the harbour cranes and the curve of the bay.
Yes, at Addo Elephant National Park, about an hour's drive away. More than six hundred elephants live there alongside zebra, buffalo and lion. Allow a full day: it is the headline excursion of the call.
To Africa's big five the park adds the southern right whale and the great white shark, both present in Algoa Bay waters. It is an Eastern Cape distinction.
Yes, at Summerstrand five kilometres south: sandy beaches sheltered by breakwaters, with the Boardwalk complex and its seafront restaurants. The water is milder here than on Cape Town's Atlantic side.
Yes, boat trips go out to watch the dolphins that frequent Algoa Bay in large groups. It is a good alternative when an Addo safari will not fit the schedule.
Route 67 and the Donkin Reserve on foot from the Campanile, then Summerstrand for the beach or a dolphin trip. Addo needs a full day: the two do not combine.
The South African rand, with cards accepted in shops and at the Boardwalk. Xhosa, English and Afrikaans are spoken; English covers everything a passenger needs.
