Explore the friendly city of Port Elizabeth — now officially known as Gqeberha — on this comprehensive half-day heritage tour. Known as the "Windy City" for its coastal breezes and "The Friendly City" for its welcoming people, PE is a treasure trove of history, art, and natural beauty.
Begin at the Donkin Reserve, a hilltop park with panoramic views over Algoa Bay. Here you'll find the iconic lighthouse and stone pyramid, built in 1820 by the city's founder in memory of his wife. Walk Route 67, an art trail featuring 67 public artworks — one for each year of Nelson Mandela's political activism — climbing through the historic Hill neighbourhood.
Visit the beautiful St George's Park, home to the oldest cricket ground in South Africa (1859), and explore the beachfront promenade stretching from King's Beach to Summerstrand. Learn about the Settlers' history, the Xhosa people's heritage, and modern Port Elizabeth's role as a gateway to the Eastern Cape.
