Port Elizabeth, South Africa Cruises

Port Elizabeth, South Africa Cruise Port

• There are multiple game reserves and parks in Port Elizabeth, and the Kragga Kamma Game Park is one of the most popular. Located within the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality, it's a smaller reserve where you can see native animals such as the southern white rhinoceros, South African cheetah, Burchell's zebra, South African giraffe, and many others.
   
• Combine a walk, art, and history on Route 67; a trail consisting of 67 public artworks that symbolize the 67 years Nelson Mandela dedicated to ending apartheid in South Africa. The art was created entirely by local Eastern Cape artists. The tour begins at the Donkin Reserve, where you can also see the largest South African flag in the world.
   
• The Donkin Reserve is a lovely hilltop park where art and history mingle, featuring a lighthouse and pyramid. The latter is a memorial to Elizabeth Donkin, whose husband Rufane was governor in the 1820s. The lighthouse, built in 1861, also houses Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism. The lighthouse itself is available for tours upon request.
   
• An excellent area for whale-watching, there are many charters in the city that will get you close to humpback whales, Southern right whales, and Bryde's whales.
