Is a package holiday to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) worth it?

Gqeberha — known as Port Elizabeth until 2021 — is South Africa's 'Friendly City' on Algoa Bay on the Indian Ocean. The city is the gateway to the malaria-free Addo Elephant National Park and the famous Garden Route, combining beach holidays with Big Five safaris without health risks.

The Addo Elephant National Park — just 70 km away — is home to over 600 elephants as well as lions, buffalo, rhinos, and leopards. It is the only park in the world where the 'Big Seven' (the Big Five plus Southern Right Whale and Great White Shark) can be spotted.

Algoa Bay itself is a paradise for marine mammals: Southern Right Whales calve here from July to November, dolphin pods can be seen year-round, and the nearby St. Croix Island hosts the largest colony of African Penguins.

The Boardwalk complex at Kings Beach offers entertainment right on the beach. The historic Donkin Reserve in the city center — with the iconic lighthouse and pyramid — overlooks the entire bay. Sardinia Bay and Hobie Beach offer some of the most beautiful city beaches in South Africa.
