When I mention rural Eastern Cape cultural tours, people immediately think that its a budget, dirty,difficult conditions, sleep on the floor, no en suite bathroom experience.
As you can see the Eastern Cape lodging we use is quaint, local, full of local flavour and local architecture design.....its the hearfelt warmth of genuine hospitality that makes these tours memorable,
Our the Eastern Cape lodging gives you a real experience of the area, a personal contact with local people, a memorable heart to heart connection, different from the big hotels...people to people, seeing scenery that many visitors to South Africa, do not get to experience.....
