The coastal area of the Eastern Cape lies directly between the subtropical conditions of the Western Cape, while its inland area is bisected by the Great Escarpment, resulting in the southern reaches defined by a series of rivers and corresponding wetland fauna and flora, while the northern areas are those of the altitudinous plains of the Plateau and the Great Karoo. The average daily temperatures along the coast are: max. 28 degrees Celsius in January and 21°C in July; min. 17°C in January and 9°C in July. Up towards the Free State, at towns such as Lady Grey and Aliwal North, the rise in altitude means the appropriate lowering in temperature.
The Eastern Cape has over 60 State Game Reserves and over 20 private reserves and game farms, making it one of the most sought after region for wildlife enthusiasts. Enjoy misty mornings in the
