The Eastern Cape is known for its diversity and striking contrasts. Here you will find everything from bright city lights to lush evergreen forests, wide open grasslands, pristine coastlines and the arid landscapes. Come experience the colorful and fascinating cultures of the indigenous Xhosa people. A couple of centuries ago the Xhosas made up the bulk of the region's population. Today however the population is as diverse as its natural surroundings. Port Elizabeth (or PE as it is sometimes called) is the largest city within the Eastern Cape and the fifth largest in the country. Visit PE and find out why it is known as the Friendly City.
