EXPLORE OUR CITY

Grahamstown / Makhanda is a small historic city in the heart of the Eastern Cape, 120km’s from PE and 180km from East London. We are a major education hub with a first class university (Rhodes has the highest pass rate in SA), some of the best private / independent schools in the country (perhaps the world) and many great government schools. We are a centre of the arts and culture and annually host the National Arts Festival in June / July. Grahamstown offers great restaurants, pubs and taverns and a vibey nightlife We are surrounded by game farms (Kwandwe, Amakhala, Pumba etc) and coastal holiday towns such as Kenton and Port Alfred are 50km away. Surfing, fishing and long lazy walks on pristine beaches. There is much to absorb history buffs (9 Frontier Wars / Wars of Dispossession), cultural, sport and adventure tourists alike.
