For north-bound travellers East London is the gateway to the Wild Coast.

Nelson Mandela Museum
The Wild Coast is mainly inhabited by the Xhosa people. Nelson Mandela was born and bred in this area. The capital of Transkei is Umtata. Here you should not miss the Nelson Mandela Museum.

Wild Coast Hiking Trail
The Wild Coast is a hiker's paradise. Along the coast the Wild Coast Hiking Trail (280 km) offers a perfect natural experience. The whole trail needs about 25 days. There are, however, 5 trails on offer that last three to six days. A permit from the Department of Agriculture and Forestry/Nature Conservation Section (Umtata) is required.
Port St. Johns and Coffee Bay are the two major seaside resorts. They are excellent hubs for hiking.

The Sardine Run
During June and September massive Sardine swarms are gathering in the Indian Ocean to move from the Cape along the Wild Coast to KwaZulu-Natal. This phenomenon also attracts huge numbers of predators like dolphins, sharks and whales. The sardine run is also a feast for sea birds. Many people like to watch this spectacle from the coastline.

Amadiba Community
Close to Port Edward, in the far North of the Wild Coast, Amadiba Community is welcoming guests for a special adventure. You can either relax and enjoy the ocean or take part in several activities like horse riding along the coast and canoeing. Learn about history and culture of the people in this area.
