Day 1: East London

Galloping along the deserted beaches of the Wild Coast to Morgan Bay is an unmissable experience to add a touch of adventure to your vacation, with the ocean breeze in your hair. The Wild Coast is part of the Eastern Cape, located along the coast after East London. A rural area that has maintained a strong Xhosa tribal tradition, with wild beaches bordered by dense jungle. A stunning stretch of coastline, with a very authentic atmosphere, traditional picturesque villages of the Xhosa ethnic group, and breathtaking landscapes. The villages, called 'kraals,' consist of traditional huts, all colorful with thatched roofs, built on gentle hills overlooking the ocean where rivers converge.
