Things to Do in Gqeberha and the Eastern Cape

Your visit to Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) offers far more than an exceptional symposium experience. Nestled along the shores of Nelson Mandela Bay and serving as the gateway to the Eastern Cape, our region combines stunning beaches, abundant wildlife, rich cultural heritage, outdoor adventure and warm South African hospitality.

Whether you choose to extend your stay before or after the conference, you can enjoy everything from Big Five safaris and marine wildlife encounters to scenic coastal walks, world-class surfing, vibrant restaurants, historical attractions and unforgettable road trips along some of South Africa's most spectacular coastline. Nelson Mandela Bay is often celebrated as a destination where visitors can experience city, bush and beach in a single trip.

The Eastern Cape is home to some of South Africa's most iconic attractions, including game reserves, nature reserves, pristine beaches and diverse cultural experiences. From the nearby Addo region and private safari reserves to the dramatic coastline of the Garden Route and Tsitsikamma, there is something to suit every interest and travel style.

To help you plan your visit, we encourage you to explore the official Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism website, which offers a comprehensive guide to attractions, tours, activities, restaurants, events and local experiences throughout the region.
